i cant swim

same lol. well kinda i guess. i can tread water and not drown but im not exactly a strong swimmer. just never spent much time in the pool/beach as a kid.

it was pretty embarrassing when i did my BOSIET training several years ago. it involves practising and completing a number of helo submersion and escape drills:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ztt-19eVbog

anyway when we suited up for the pool on the second day the instructor asked if anyone wasn't a strong swimmer and i was the only one who raised their hand and i had to wear a special helmet lol. to make matters worse i managed to fail the final drill where you're submerged upside-down and have to escape. my harness got stuck so the diver had to help me out and i didn't escape through the airframe window so i had to do it again.

was still fun and doing off-shore stints as a specialist (fly out as needed, one week tops, non-fifo) paid megabucks.

maybe you could do networking in the north sea lol?

edit: my BOSIET expired in 2018 which was fine as id stopped being in a role where i had to do off-shore stuff. not sure whether id be willing to renew it lol

it looks like a differential GPS system. you install a ground station at a known surveyed point and it receives GPS positioning data from the satellites, then compares what it's getting to its known location and broadcasts correction values to nearby receivers so they can accommodate for space weather and other error sources and increase precision. that is pretty common in surveying and some other fields.

the precision landing stuff is different from how it's currently done. a traditional ILS, whether on the ground or on a carrier, has narrow beam radio transmitters lined up with the runway and the plane follows the beams to land. GPS approaches are common these days, but i don't think there are GPS RNAV approaches that will actually get you right onto the runway -- they will all have a minimum decision altitude where if you are on the approach and you hit e.g. 500 feet AGL and you still don't see the runway through the fog, you have to abort the landing because the GPS position isn't guaranteed to be precise enough for a touchdown. there are ILS systems (category 3) that can guide a plane right down to 0 feet, but they require expensive precision transmitters on the field and so are only seen at big airports that regularly have heavy weather.

so basically i think the idea here is to use a ground station transmitting to nearby aircraft to improve GPS accuracy enough to enable ILS landings at any location -- particularly relevant to the VTOL F-35s they are showing in the video -- without having to install the fancy transmitters. there's also probably some security benefit over existing deployable ILS systems, since an ILS is literally a radio beacon shining into the sky saying "this is the exact location of the runway" while this GPS thing could be used over an encrypted datalink.

that's my interpretation :shrug:

thanks for the reply Sagebrush, interesting stuff!

Sagebrush posted:

one point i forgot to mention is specifically why you need dgps for landings. you might know that a regular military gps receiver can usually get within a foot of the target location and surely that's enough to land a plane? yes, it is...but that is horizontal resolution. gps altitude values are always kind of sketchy because of how the satellites are arranged. you get the most precision in the vertical dimension when the satellites you're watching are directly above you, but under most circumstances it's far more likely that you're receiving from ones scattered around the horizon. propagation of error in the trigonometry means that elevation figures are likely off by tens of feet and that's real bad if your plane thinks the runway is ten feet below the ground.

so the main value of this dgps thing is you can plunk it beside the runway and have it send a much more precise value for the field elevation, allowing the plane to touch down nicely instead of stalling twenty feet above and dropping in or pancaking into the dirt.

cheers thanks for the extra info. im not really sure what the effective use for it in the military is tbh beyond doing fancy precise VTOL landings at established air bases. it appears to have been developed as a portable system so i guess they reckon it could be used at temporary FOB airfields or something. but ofc if that's the case then the system would need to be sufficiently hardened and redundant because it's gonna be target number one for an anti-airfield operation. hell if it was close enough to a runway the debris from cratering munitions would probably break it. so if it can't be protected and defended then no one is going to want to rely on it in standard operations.

now if it were a civilian aviation thing where you could just set it up at some random air strip and immediately enhance it that would be cool as heck

local host routes are a bad idea. also most websites site behind CDNs so you can't really just create an IP route to handle it. also it's going to break because the site is going to load resources from all over.

a possible way around it and also a fun project would be to roll your own VPN. just spin up a cheap as poo poo (or sometimes free there are some free poo poo available) VPS and use that as a VPN. the site is probably just blocking the subnets of known VPN providers so a random VPS should fly under the radar. just note that you could open yourself up to getting rekt if you don't configure it right and lock it down.

it should show up in "route print". then you can use "route delete" to get rid of it. or just reboot because you probably didn't make the route persistent
