| Abstract | In the early 1980's, Civil Aviation recognized the increasing limitation of the present communication, navigation, surveillance (CNS) and air traffic management (ATM) systems and the need to make improvements to overcome the present limitations and also meet the future needs. Thus the Council of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) established the Special Committee on Future Air Navigation Systems (FANS) in 1983 to study the new concept and new technologies and to recommend a system that would overcome the present and foreseen problems. The FANS committee concluded that the exploitation of the satellite technology was the only viable solution to overcome the limitations of the present system and meet future needs. The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation and positioning system being implemented by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD). There is a need for high precision navigation with centimeter level accuracy of the automatic landing approach according to ICAO requirements. Pseudolite have been proposed as an effective means of enhancing the GPS system to meet these requirements for integrity, availability, and accuracy. The area of studying was at Donmuang International Airport, Bangkok. Simulation results show that the airplane position accuracy improved by adding pseudolites in the system. |
