Narrative:

When cleared for the ILS-6R into uam; the autopilot was used to intercept the final approach course while descending to our assigned altitude of 2700 feet MSL to intercept the glideslope. Shortly after localizer capture; the autopilot turned itself off and we noted some erratic ILS course and glideslope indications while proceeding inbound in visual conditions. While we were in the process of recognizing these incorrect ILS indications; the aircraft deviated slightly from the final approach course somewhere in the vicinity of the final approach fix. We corrected this deviation once we noticed it; but did [not] receive any glideslope indications until 600 feet AGL. We continued to receive localizer fluctuations and indications that were clearly incorrect compared to our visual descent profile while on runway centerline; and this continued up to threshold crossing. We brought this to the attention of andersen tower after landing and they stated that they sometimes receive reports that the ILS is unreliable due to weather conditions.
