Research abstract
Jump Aero Incorporated has partnered with Oklahoma State University to develop an Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) platform capable of collecting the data necessary for ILS calibration without necessitating the shutdown of the approach during calibration. This technology could reduce the cost of ILS calibration by a factor of twenty (20) and the platform could be extended as a generic NAVAID calibration platform in the future. This proposal seeks to extend the Phase I feasibility study work into a Phase II in which the system would be prototyped and flown for the first time. The capability embodied in the proposed system would be highly valued by Air Force Combat Flight Inspection and the FAA Flight Inspection Service.
