Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of air traffic control, and particularly relates to an automatic aircraft position monitoring system, a position reporting device and a ground monitoring device.
Background
General Aviation (General Aviation) refers to civil Aviation activities other than public Aviation transportation using civil aircrafts, including operation and flight in industry, agriculture, forestry, fishery and construction industry, and flight activities in medical health, emergency rescue and relief, meteorological detection, ocean monitoring, scientific experiments, education training, cultural sports, etc. In general aviation flight areas and low-altitude airspaces, because aircrafts in general aviation are different from commercial aircrafts engaged in public aviation transportation, the flight lines and the heights of the aircrafts are not fixed and can change at any time in the flight process, and in order to ensure the flight safety of aerial targets and prevent the aerial targets from colliding, a flight control department needs to monitor the flight conditions and the flight positions of all the aerial targets in general aviation.
The existing device for performing air-to-air monitoring has an ADS-B (Automatic dependent surveillance-Broadcast) system. The ADS-B system is an information system integrating communication and monitoring, and generally comprises a GPS receiver, a data link transceiver and an antenna thereof, and a cockpit conflict information display. An ADS-B equipped aircraft can broadcast its own precise location and other flight data via a data link transceiver. And meanwhile, the precise position of the aircraft and other flight data can be transmitted to an air pipe system or other airplanes through a communication system.
However, the existing ADS-B system is expensive in manufacturing cost and difficult to popularize in general aviation aircrafts, so that the flight condition and the flight position of each aircraft in the existing low-altitude airspace cannot be monitored in time. The air management system cannot monitor the flight condition and the flight position of each aircraft in the low-altitude airspace, and the flight safety of the aerial target cannot be guaranteed.
In view of the above, it is necessary to provide an automatic aircraft position monitoring system that can monitor the flight condition and flight position of each aerial target in a low-altitude airspace, has low production cost, and is beneficial to popularization.

The use of the PTT button as the voice call button 104 is merely exemplary, and any button that can cause the voice information input by the microphone 105 to be transmitted to the onboard voice station 101 when pressed falls within the scope of the present invention. When the personnel on the airplane need to communicate with the ground, the talkback handle 103 sends the collected voice information to the airplane position loading module 102 in the form of audio data after pressing the voice communication button 104.
The airplane position loading module 102 is connected in series to a data line between the airborne voice radio 101 and the talkback handle 103, one end of the airplane position loading module is connected with a voice interface connected with the talkback handle 103, and the other end of the airplane position loading module is connected with the voice interface of the airborne voice radio 101. In the present invention, the aircraft location loading module 102 is preferably, but not limited to, disposed on a circuit board inside the onboard voice station 101.
When the aircraft position loading module 102 detects that the voice call key 104 is pressed to be connected, the voice information output by the talkback handle 103 is sent to the airborne voice radio 101;
the aircraft position loading module 102 determines the current position information of the aircraft in a GPS mode; and after detecting that the voice call key 104 is disconnected, the current position information of the airplane is modulated into audio data and then is sent to the airborne voice radio 101.
After receiving the voice information and the audio data of the position information sent by the aircraft position loading module 102, the airborne voice radio 101 modulates the audio data into a high-frequency signal and sends the high-frequency signal to the ground monitoring device 2 in a wireless manner. Since the airborne voice radio 101 modulates the received audio signal into a high-frequency signal and then wirelessly transmits the high-frequency signal to the ground monitoring device 2 to realize wireless voice communication with the ground monitoring device 2, which is the prior art, the working principle thereof is not described herein again.
