Integrity: A Key Enabler for Liability Critical Applications

T.W. Beech, M.A. Martínez-Olagüe and J. Cosmen-Schortmann

Abstract:	In the field of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System), integrity is an essential navigation performance for different applications. New initiatives are being developed in the USA, Europe and other regions to ensure the integrity of the GNSS signals either through specific augmentations to existing systems (as is the case of WAAS and EGNOS) or as a built-in feature (as is the case of the future GPS-III and Galileo). While integrity is mainly conceived for Safety of Life critical applications and, in particular, for civil aviation (whose requirements today drive the development of integrity related systems), it is strongly believed that integrity will be the booster for a new set of applications that will constitute a new breakthrough in GNSS.
