Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR), LaS Cert. Collins GLU-925 Global Landing Unit, 2004-2005
Black box flight test unit used in certification trials. The GLU-925 Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR) is the first certified example of an integrated navigational system that incorporates signals from multiple types of navigational and landing systems, including GPS [WaS and LaS], GNSS, VOR, MLS, ILS, and integrating them into a single presentation and using the combination of signals to verify the accuracy of others. This allows an air-transport aircraft to use the most adventageous form of navigation, without having to add additional equipment, regardless of where they are in the world. Different nationalities often favor different technologies, sometimes for purely political reasons. The GLU-925 marks the first time that a navigational set has been certified for LaS capability. LaS utilizes a GPS differential to provide precision vertical azimuth guidance during landing. This allows air-tranpsort aircraft to make " Cat III" type blind landings with significantly less infrastructure than previous ILS-based procedures. This system will allow much lower landing minimums at a far greater number of airports and will improve the the efficiency of air traffic networks

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print showcases the groundbreaking Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR), LaS Cert. Collins GLU-925 Global Landing Unit, developed between 2004 and 2005. This black box flight test unit played a crucial role in certification trials, revolutionizing the field of aviation navigation systems. The GLU-925 MMR is an exceptional example of an integrated navigational system that combines signals from various types of navigational and landing systems. By incorporating GPS [WaS and LaS], GNSS, VOR, MLS, ILS signals into a single presentation, this receiver verifies the accuracy of each signal by using the combination of others. This technological marvel enables air transport aircraft to utilize the most advantageous form of navigation without requiring additional equipment anywhere in the world. National preferences for different technologies often arise due to political reasons; however, with the GLU-925's capabilities, such biases become irrelevant. Notably, this certified navigational set marks a significant milestone as it introduces LaS capability for precision vertical azimuth guidance during landing utilizing GPS differential technology. With this advancement, air transport aircraft can now perform "Cat III" type blind landings with minimal infrastructure compared to previous ILS-based procedures. By allowing lower landing minimums at numerous airports worldwide and enhancing air traffic network efficiency significantly, Rockwell-Collins' creation promises safer and more efficient flights for all passengers. The print captures a momentous achievement in aviation history that will undoubtedly shape future developments in aerial navigation systems.
