NEW STRATEGY THE FOR DESIGNATION OF THE INTEGRITY PARAMETER IN SBAS POSITIONING IN AIR TRANSPORT

The article shows the results of a study on the determination of SBAS satellite positioning integrity parameters as a HPL and VPL protection levels. To this end, a modified algorithm was developed to determine the HPL and VPL protection levels from a common aircraft position navigation solution based on EGNOS and SDCM augmentation systems. The developed mathematical scheme was verified on real GNSS kinematic data recorded by two onboard Septentrio AsterRx2i and Trimble Alloy receivers installed on a Diamond DA 20-C aircraft. Based on the conducted tests, it was found that the HPL parameter does not exceed 12.24 m, while respectively the VPL does not exceed 18.01 m. In addition, in the course of the study it was found that the proposed EGNOS+SDCM solution improves the HPL/VPL integrity determination in relation to the EGNOS solution by 8÷66%. The mathematical scheme used in the study was also applied to designation the HPL/VPL terms for the UAV platform. The obtained results of the HPL/VPL values for the positioning of the aircraft and the UAV platform show a high efficiency of the developed algorithm for improving the integrity parameter.
