Active navigation positioning device and navigation positioning method for aircraft
Technical Field
The invention relates to laser active navigation positioning, in particular to an aircraft active navigation positioning device and a navigation positioning method based on laser ranging communication.
Background
The autonomous landing of an aircraft mainly adopts two means, one means is autonomous navigation through GNSS, but the real-time precision and reliability of the GNSS are not high and are only used as reference. The other method is that the ground is used for actively guiding, and the ground is used for actively transmitting a radio signal and a runway marker light to help a pilot to determine the relative positions of the aircraft and the runway, so that the safe landing of the aircraft is realized. For example, with the rapid development of the application fields of unmanned aerial vehicles and the like, unmanned autonomous landing is an urgent need, and the complex ground active guidance technology adopted in the current airport cannot meet the requirement of autonomous landing of large-scale unmanned aerial vehicles, and for some places with poor GNSS signals, areas subjected to radio frequency interference or places with high requirements on concealment, the emission of signals and the requirement of personnel need to be reduced due to resource and safety considerations.
At present, the high-precision aircraft navigation positioning technology independent of GNSS mainly has two kinds: one adopts an image matching technology and the other adopts a laser navigation positioning technology.
The image matching technology is that an aircraft (such as an unmanned aerial vehicle) acquires an image of a landing area, and the image is matched with a pre-existing image library, so that the self positioning and navigation are realized. And marking points can be distributed in the landing area, and the self positioning and navigation of the aircraft can be realized through the matching of the image marking points. The technology has lower power consumption and lower resource requirements, but the mark points or mark images of the landing area need to be prestored on the aircraft to realize real-time comparison, and the images need to be acquired under the condition of better lighting conditions, so that certain safety risks and time limitation exist.
The high-precision laser-assisted navigation and positioning technology is similar to the GNSS technology, the system comprises a reference station and a navigation unit, the reference station emits laser with positioning information, and the navigation unit positions the laser with positioning information after receiving the laser. Although the technology solves the problems of poor GNSS signals and interference, the reference station needs to emit laser signals in a large range, the aircraft identification function is not available, the problems of concealment and low safety exist, the base station needs to emit laser all the time, and the power consumption is high.
From the current navigation technology, the active navigation and positioning requirements of the aircraft which is increased at a high speed in the future cannot be met, and particularly, a high-precision aircraft navigation and positioning technology which can meet the requirements of all-time, low power consumption, high concealment and strong electromagnetic interference resistance is lacked.
