An algorithm for choosing the optimal pair of navigational aids in aircraft positioning

Abstract

An achievement of maximum accuracy characteristics of aircraft area navigation is possible only using the optimal pair of navigational aids. This paper considers proposed algorithm for choice of the optimal pair of distance, angular or angular-distance navigational aids, that is based on a typical record of an optimization problem with its solution by one of the integer linear programming methods. An efficiency of the proposed algorithm is verified by simulation using trajectory information.
