Q&A TIME

Agenda

4

• Specific ARAIM Technical Sub-Group (TSG) established in 2010

‒ under the U.S.-EU Agreement on GPS-Galileo Cooperation signedin 2004 on the cooperation activities between the USA and the EU in the field of satellite navigation

‒ aims to develop an advanced integrity concept in civil aviation

‒ to develop a solution to ensure navigation integrity for en-route flight, terminal, and approach operations, which should support lateral and vertical guidance down to a Decision Height/Altitude (DH/DA) of 200 feet

‒ produced 3 reports publicly available

‒ defined roadmap

EU-US ARAIM Technical Sub-Group

5

• Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring is a concept with the intention to provide a global integrity service based on multiple satellite constellation

• The ARAIM concept is based on three possible architectures enabling different level of performance:

‒ Horizontal ARAIM, to support horizontal navigation based on an occasional Integrity Support Message (ISM) updates

‒ Offline ARAIM, to support horizontal and vertical navigation based on a monthly Integrity Support Message (ISM) updates

‒ Online ARAIM, to support horizontal and vertical navigation based on an Integrity Support Message (ISM) frequently updates (e.g. every 12 minutes)

ARAIM

OBJECTIVES OF THE CALL

7

• To develop, test and assess the performance of an ARAIM receiver’s prototype, following the guidelines defined by the ARAIM TSG (Technical Sub Group).

• To characterise, consolidate and validate the local effects of the threat model as specified by the ARAIM TSG.

• To contribute to the standardisation activities on ARAIM.

Objective of the Call

8

Expected project flow

9

• Aims to define the requirements and implementing the ARAIM receiver’s first version prototype

1) Define all receiver’s requirements (functional, safety, performance)

2) Design and develop the prototype receiver using the most updated ARAIM reference algorithm available

3) Consolidate a performance validation plan

TASK 1

10

• Aims to assess the achievable performance of the implemented receiver’s prototype

• Testing execution:

1) in a simulated environment (with support of JRC)

2) using real GNSS signal in a number of representative scenarios (real signal validation)

• ARAIM receiver performance to be assessed against SoLrequirements

TASK 2

11

NOTE: Tests to be conducted in coordination with other relevant projects

• R&D FOR ADVANCED RECEIVER AUTONOMOUS INTEGRITY MONITORING: ARAIM DEMONSTRATOR

‒ ARAIM Demonstrator development including tests with real Galileo Signal In Space (SIS)

• AVIATION STANDARDISATION FOR MULTICONSTELLATION (ATLAS)

‒ draft technical standards for implementation of multiconstellation/dual frequency, next generation SBAS and Advanced RAIM techniques, as aviation receiver standards are currently published for GPS stand-alone and GPS/SBAS equipment

• AVIATION DFMC SBAS RECEIVER PROTOTYPE

‒ design, develop and test a prototype of the DFMC SBAS user terminal for the aviation SoLservice, augmenting GPS and Galileo capabilities including Horizontal-ARAIM and RAIM

Other initiatives related to ARAIM

12Applicants shall propose a project plan aiming at maximising the effectiveness of the project

results allowing for the interaction with the above as minimum or any other relevant projects.

TASK 3

13

• Transversal activity

1) Disseminate of the project results

- including at least 2 technical papers to international conferences

2) Contribute to standardisation activities

- if the results deemed satisfactory and meaningful as an input

3) Provide technical support to GSA/EC
