- Description
- Joint Precision Approach and Landing System: JPALS entered the new DoD 5000 series acquisition continuum post Milestone "A" in the Concept and Technology Development phase. A Concept Exploration work effort led to the determination that the Local Area Differential Global Positioning System (LDGPS) was the best precision approach and landing solution. The objective of the current Component Advanced Development work effort is to provide sufficient evidence that key technical risks for LDGPS have been reduced and to help define the JPALS technical architecture. The current Component Advanced Development work effort operates under the belief that a fully developed LDGPS will give both conventional manned aircraft and possible unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) fully coupled (automatic) landing capability in any weather, and in any mission environment. LDGPS-complementing technologies are also being explored. These include: GPS-based Local and Wide Area Augmentation Systems (LAAS and WAAS) which will enhance civil interoperability, and Autonomous Landing Capability (ALC) which will greatly improve a pilot's visibility by filtering out meteorological conditions like snow and fog.
