INTERNATIONAL CONTEXT GNSS capacity is growing fast with the development and improvement of new core components (DFMC scenario : Dual-Frequency Multi-Constellation) ICAO augmentations systems can benefit from those improvements SBAS evolution: SBAS Dual-Frequency Multi-Constellation GBAS evolution: GAST-F Concept ABAS evolution: Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) SBAS DFMC standardization is on-going Initial draft ICD (Interface Control Document) and Concept of Operation developed within IWG (International SBAS Service Provider working group) Receiver MOPS being developed by Eurocae WG62 and RTCA SC-159 ICAO SARPs being developed ITSNT 2017 - SBAS DFMC performance analysis with the SBAS DSVP 15/11/2017 4
EUROPEAN CONTEXT Development of the SBAS new generation is on-going: SBAS DFMC evolution in Europe will be introduced with EGNOS V3 Study phase closed in early 2016 Development phase to be launched end 2017 SBAS DFMC operation with EGNOS V3 planned after GPS L5 FOC (around 2025) The consolidation of the new SBAS DFMC standard is a critical milestone to ensure that: the European investment in the EGNOS V3 program will not be jeopardized EGNOS V3 will be interoperable and compatible with the future ICAO SBAS DFMC standard Project risks with EGNOS development will be properly managed with a mature/consolidated standard ITSNT 2017 - SBAS DFMC performance analysis with the SBAS DSVP 15/11/2017 5

BROADCAST INTEGRITY INFORMATION (1/2) SBAS DF integrity information (DFREI) must be broadcast at least every 6 sec for each monitored satellite SBAS DFMC has two possible methods to broadcast integrity information : Full DFREI value: In MT 35, for the first 53 satellite slots selected in the PRN Mask In MT 36, for the last satellite slots selected in the PRN Mask starting from the 54 In MT 34, for only 7 satellite slots In MT 32 or MT 40 for 1 satellite Relative to a reference DFREI value, in MT 34 via DFRECI for all monitored satellites: DFRECI: «DFREI not changed» DFRECI: «DFREI increased by 1» MT 34 is useful to update the DFREI of more than 53 monitored satellites in a single message ITSNT 2017 - SBAS DFMC performance analysis with the SBAS DSVP 15/11/2017 13
