ON-BOARD DATA PROCESSING OF NAVIGATION DATA AT HIGH LATITUDES IN ANTARCTICA

The concept of an aircraft on-board data system designed for on-line data processing and monitoring of sensor data is presented. The possibility of comfortable graphic representations is emphasized. A special version of this on board system was used during missions of a polar research aircraft in the Antarctic to compare data from an Inertial Navigation System (INS) with those from a very low frequency system (VLF-OMEGA) to find out if an INS can be used at high latitudes. Test results show that overall accuracy of a laser INS is 0.7 nautical miles per flight hour. High shock loads during takeoff and landing do not degrade system accuracy.
