Abstract: The Navy Vertical Takeoff and Landing Project (NAVOTLAND) has been established to improve the hover, approach and landing capabilities of Navy and Marine Corps V/STOL aircraft. These aircraft may be required to operate from aviation facilities ships (non-aviation ships), small aviation ships (such as LPH, LHA, VSS) and Marine Corps tactical sites. Common problems in the aircraft missions include operations under severe weather, day and night, often requiring the landing in a confined area. The NAVTOLAND program will correlate and investigate the development of all systems and techniques which are involved in enabling the pilot to fly V/STOL Aircraft onto Navy Ships and Marine Corps tactical sites. Guidance sensors have been identified as being critical to the NAVTOLAND program. A guidance sensor is required to determine the three dimensional position of the V/STOL relative to the landing zone. In low visibility operations, sensors are needed to enable the pilot to locate the ship and initiate his approach; and if the landing site has zero ceiling, the guidance sensors will be required for the pilot to make the final approach. This points out the stringent accuracy requirements that must be achieved for the aircraft operations to be conducted safely. In particular, three dimensional accuracies for position of + or - 1 foot and range rate of 1 foot per second and an update rate of 10 times per second are required.
