Simulation Testing of Precision Approach Integrity Algorithms

Reggie Cole

Abstract:	With the onset of the first Special Category I (SCAT-I) Differential Global Navigation Satellite System (DGNSS) precision landing systems, and Category II and III systems to follow, several vendors are developing integrity algorithms to meet requirements. Meeting precision landing requirements involves trade- offs among four key requirements: accuracy, availability, integrity, and continuity. Simulation not only provides an excellent means for developing the appropriate design trade-offs, but also provides hardware-in-the-loop evaluation of precision approach ground system software during the software testing phase. This paper presents a discussion on the testing of integrity algorithms using simulation.
