satellite navigation: GPS initiated by US Department of Defense (DoD), operated by US Air Force (USAF) provide to US military: position - velocity time; civil use allowed control ground antenna MCS uplink monitor stations space user measure ranges to 4 satellites to determine: X, Y, Z and receiver clock offset X Z Y annual worldwide sales of GPS products and services: US$ 25 billion (2006) 2
sat-nav error sources satellite orbit & clock atmosphere ionosphere troposphere receiver noise + multipath Earth 3
GPS error budget (stand-alone) TU Delft values from experience GPS as of 2008 NOTE: with iono 50% can be corrected with Klobuchar model (broadcast parameters); with tropo 90% can be corrected with a-priori (blind) model; corrections assumed to be applied in above total range figure 4
The use of GPS is for free, We will continue to provide the GPS Standard Positioning Service for peaceful civil, commercial and scientific use on a continuous, worldwide basis, free of direct user fees. GPS Presidential Decision Directive, March 1996 but with little service and performance guarantees 5
augmented GPS: WADGPS use GPS information from external sources, e.g. a permanent tracking network across Europe goal: - improve accuracy - improve integrity Wide Area Differential GPS (WADGPS): e.g. WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS 6
EUROCONTROL policy on GNSS navigation applications in civil aviation: gradually increasing reliance on satellite navigation, with final goal its use as sole service ION GNSS 2008 September 16-19, 2008 Savannah Georgia next 3 slides 7
GNSS policy EUROCONTROL = European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation primary objective: development of a seamless, pan-european Air Traffic Management system to proceed towards a successful transition to GNSS policy to be applied in SESAR (Single European Sky ATM Research) need for Galileo Safety-of-Life (SoL) service 8
GNSS policy The vision for the use of a multi-constellation and multi-frequency GNSS in 2020+ This EUROCONTROL policy on GNSS is based on a gradually increasing reliance on satellite navigation that has as the final goal its use as sole service, to the extent that this can be shown to be the most cost beneficial solution and if is supported by successful safety and security analyses. The vision for implementing this policy is based on the combined use of at least two constellations signals coming from more than one frequency band. User receivers will process signals from different GNSS constellations in combination with augmentations (e.g. ABAS, GBAS or SBAS depending on individual business cases and the phase of flight). 9
operational implementation en-route: enhanced sat-nav at aircraft level (i.e. ABAS based on inertial coupling and/or RAIM functionality), EGNOS (SBAS) and Galileo SoL possibly complete withdrawal of ground nav infrastructure in the very long term (2030+) approach and landing: ILS remains primary source of guidance for CAT I/II/III operations in major airports (precision approach and landing); long term developments towards GBAS CAT II/III vertically guided approach (APV): e.g. through SBAS (EGNOS); EGNOS certified 2009/2010 (application: General Aviation, LPV operations at runways not equipped with ILS) 10
