Multi-Mode Receivers for Verification of Ground- and Space-Based Augmentation Systems

D. Alexander Stratton, John Warburton, Mike Magrogan

Abstract:	The paper discusses the results of recent and on-going programs to certify Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR) avionics that utilize Ground- and Space-Based Augmentation Systems (GBAS and SBAS). The MMR provides a number of advantages for aircraft integration and operational efficiency. The MMR is a natural platform for providing GBAS and SBAS functionality. Rockwell Collins has been contracted with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Technical Center and Aviation Standards (AVN) to provide GBAS- and SBAS-capable MMR avionics to support validation, verification, commissioning, and flight inspection activities. The FAA MMR program has seen a number of performance enhancements while providing a vehicle for demonstration as well as operational use. This paper outlines the history of the program and provides example results from recent flight and ground testing.
