Drone based calibration for MAFI navigational system

Source

Source summary

The challenge seeks drone-based periodic calibration of MAFI navigation aids, including ILS, TACAN, DME and DVOR. The existing approach uses a flight-inspection system on a Do-228 aircraft. More MAFI bases and limited calibration access in high-altitude regions motivate an alternative that could reduce the aircraft-based system's workload.
