Research of helicopter flight safety technology - automatic navigation and collision avoidance support system with GPS

摘要

For the purpose of increasing flight safety under IMC or night, we have researched automatic precise navigation and collision avoidance system for helicopter with GPS. Automatic navigation system controls stick, pedals and lever to navigate the helicopter along the predetermined course with predetermined speed. Collision avoidance Support system transmits position information obtained by GPS via TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) data link each other, and received information from other aircraft is indicated on a map display with velocity vector. This paper describes about the features of these systems.
