Abstract
A landing guidance system comprises at least one edge node that operatively communicates with a mobile communications network, wherein the mobile communications network includes a network location management function, and at least one processor onboard an air vehicle, the at least one processor in operative communication with the edge node. The at least one edge node is operative to provide landing guidance information to the air vehicle by a method that comprises receiving location information from the network location management function; generating the landing guidance information for the air vehicle based on the location information; and transmitting the landing guidance information to the air vehicle when the landing guidance information meets a reliability threshold. The at least one processor is operative to guide the air vehicle to the landing target area using the landing guidance information.
