Abstract

Navigation algorithms are proposed for carrier phase ambiguity integrity monitoring to support aircraft surface movement. The enhanced integrity monitoring algorithm addresses the very stringent integrity requirements for surface movement by the use of multiple test statistics and a group separation concept for single and multiple failure detection and exclusion. The algorithms are subject to a detailed performance characterization for precision approaches and airport surface movement, using simulations as well as static and dynamic field trials, taking into account operational specificities, such as multipath and potential decorrelations between the reference station and aircraft due to ionospheric anomalies. Results show that the proposed algorithms have the potential to satisfy airport surface movement requirements if the ionospheric anomalies are monitored using a special ground-based network.
