The avionics flight evaluation system (AFES) is described. Its basic sensors are a microwave radar and an inertial system. The measured signals onboard the aircraft are used in optimal estimation algorithms and provide quasi online and accurate reference trajectory calculation. The different components of the system are described. The position accuracy (horizontal and vertical) of the AFES reference system is discussed. The planned improvements (powerful airborne computer, integrated height measuring system, and global positioning system as support sensor) are outlined.
