This proposed aircraft landing system uses the Global Positioning System (GPS) in conjunction with special purpose ground equipment to provide a highly accurate, fully autonomous, portable precision approach and landing system. The aircraft receiver can also be used to support en-route navigation and non-precision approaches when out of range of the ground station. Under Phase I, the GPS precision approach and landing system will be designed to operate in the extreme Antarctic environment. The proposed precision approach and landing system will significantly improve safety at NSF facilities in Antarctica. GPS provides the capability of an "all-weather" landing system that can function equally well at fixed installations, filed sites, and can even operate on moving landing sites such as ice drifts without any degradation in performance.

该飞机着陆系统使用全球定位系统， 系统（GPS）与专用地面设备 提供高度精确、完全自主、便携式的精密 进场着陆系统 飞机接收器还可以 用于支持航路导航和非精确进近 在地面站的范围之外。 在第一阶段，GPS 精确进近和着陆系统将被设计成 在极端的南极环境中。 建议精度 进近和着陆系统将大大提高安全性， 南极洲的NSF设施。 全球定位系统提供了一种 “全天候”着陆系统， 固定安装，现场，甚至可以在移动操作 着陆点，如冰漂移，没有任何退化， 性能
