Analysis of AlternativesConclusions
The AoA supports the following general conclusions:
- Local Area DGPS is most promising for fixed base, tactical, and special mission environments
- LDGPS and upgraded Automatic Carrier Landing System+ is the most promising in the shipboard environment
- Microwave Landing System is a low risk candidate to serve as a secondary or backup system
- New Precision Approach Radar (PAR) and Hybrid ILS / PAR have potential as tactical backup systems
- Civil Wide Area Augmentation Services have potential as a supplement to other systems in civil airspace
- Enhanced Vision Systems may be useful as an augmentation to a precision landing system for low visibility operations
