Patent number: 11215714Abstract: A deceiving signal detection system includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a signal processor. The first antenna is configured to receive at least four radio wave signals. The signal processor determines that the radio wave signals are the deceiving signals by determining that a relative positional relation between the first antenna and the second antenna calculated on a basis of the radio wave signals deviates from an actual relative positional relation between the first antenna and the second antenna by more than a predetermined amount, and also determines whether an orientation of the aircraft determined based on positions of the first antenna and the second antenna matches an orientation of the aircraft calculated based on an inertial navigation system.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2018Date of Patent: January 4, 2022Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Yutaka Sasaki, Akitoshi Sakaguchi, Akihiro Yamane, Toshiyuki Narahashi, Yoichi Onomura, Kumiko Kindaichi

Patent number: 11132905Abstract: An aircraft position measurement system is provided for an aircraft configured to use an artificial satellite configured to fly in a known orbit. The aircraft position measurement system includes a reflector, a distance-angle measuring member, a satellite position obtainer, and an aircraft position calculator. The reflector configured to be mounted on the artificial satellite and reflect an electromagnetic wave in a direction in which the electromagnetic wave arrives. The distance-angle measuring member is configured to be mounted on the aircraft and emit an electromagnetic wave and measure a bearing and a distance to the artificial satellite when seen from the aircraft. The satellite position obtainer is configured to obtain an absolute position of the artificial satellite. The aircraft position calculator is configured to calculate a position of the aircraft based on the absolute position of the artificial satellite and the bearing and the distance to the artificial satellite.Type: GrantFiled: October 1, 2019Date of Patent: September 28, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Kumiko Kindaichi, Yutaka Sasaki, Toshiyuki Narahashi

Patent number: 11086026Abstract: A navigation system includes a receiver and a signal processor. The receiver is mounted on a second aircraft. The second aircraft is an acquisition target of location information. The receiver is configured to receive a navigation signal from each of three or more first aircrafts. The navigation signal includes the location information on a location of the corresponding first aircraft. The navigation signal is transmitted as a radio signal from a navigation apparatus mounted on each of the three or more first aircrafts. The signal processor is mounted on the second aircraft. The signal processor is configured to calculate a location of the second aircraft on the basis of the navigation signal.Type: GrantFiled: May 14, 2019Date of Patent: August 10, 2021Assignee: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Yutaka Sasaki, Akitoshi Sakaguchi, Akihiro Yamane, Toshiyuki Narahashi, Yoichi Onomura, Kumiko Kindaichi

Publication number: 20190179033Abstract: A deceiving signal detection system includes a first antenna, a second antenna, and a signal processor. The first antenna is configured to receive four or more multiple navigation signals. Each of the multiple navigation signals indicates a transmitting position and a transmitting time of the each navigation signal. The second antenna is configured to receive the multiple navigation signals. The signal processor is configured to determine whether four or more multiple radio wave signals that are received by the first antenna and the second antenna and each signal indicate a transmitting position and a transmitting time of the signal are the multiple navigation signals or deceiving signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 9, 2018Publication date: June 13, 2019Applicant: SUBARU CORPORATIONInventors: Yutaka SASAKI, Akitoshi SAKAGUCHI, Akihiro YAMANE, Toshiyuki NARAHASHI, Yoichi ONOMURA, Kumiko KINDAICHI
