Technical and economic feasibility of the on-board location system application for the aircraft and satellite communication system

Abstract

Abstract The paper considers the joint application of the Iridium satellite communications system as well as the GLONASS and GPS satellite navigation systems that corresponds to the CNS/ATM concept. The originality of the proposed detection method is in constant communication between an object and a control center. The method can be applied to both manned and unmanned aircrafts. In any case, a control center can quickly respond to deviations of the trajectory of an object, or to an operation of accelerometers at critical overloads. The paper examines the advantages of introducing the Iridium satellite radio navigation system into the aviation sector to monitor aircrafts in both manned and unmanned aircrafts. Technical and economic advantages are given on the example of various search and rescue operations.
