Innovation: Digging into GPS Integrity   November 1, 2011
By: Grace Xingxin Gao,Liang Heng,Per Enge,Todd Walter

There are four important requirements of any navigation system: accuracy, availability, continuity, and integrity. In this month’s column we take a look at one particular aspect of GPS integrity: that of the signal in space and find out how trustworthy is the satellite ephemeris and clock...more >>

Integrity for Non-Aviation Users   July 1, 2011
By: Per Enge,Sam Pullen,Todd Walter

Non-aviation users of satellite- and ground-based augmentation systems do not require the conservative level of integrity built into these systems for aviation users. Removing it can produce substantial benefits in terms of smaller error bounds and improved availability.

GNSS Vulnerability and Alternative PNT   July 1, 2010
By: Leo Eldredge,Mike Harrison,Mitch Narins,Per Enge,Randy Kenagy,Rick Niles,Robert Lilly,Robert Loh,Sherman Lo

A group working under the auspices of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Navigation Services Directorate recently prepared a study assessing non-GNSS navigation system architectures to provide alternate positioning, navigation, and timing (APNT) services for aviation users, to mitigate GNSS...more >>

Future Augmented   March 1, 2010
By: Juan Blanch,Per Enge,Todd Walter

After reviewing current performance of WAAS, EGNOS, and MSAS, the authors present expected future performance, including the benefits of GPS L5. They evaluate the impact of the Indian GAGAN and Russian SDCM systems on global coverage and examine southward expansions for the original three SBASs....more >>

Shaping Aviation Integrity   April 1, 2008
By: Boris Pervan,Juan Blanch,Livio Gratton,Per Enge,Todd Walter

Relative RAIM and absolute RAIM both enable an aircraft to raise a flag within seconds of receiving faulty data. This article evaluates the protection-level equations for both methods, and examines them in the light of GNSS constellations optimized for 24, 27, and 30 satellites.

Security for Insecure Times   November 1, 2007
By: Di Qiu,Per Enge,Sherman Lo

Modernized Loran, hard to spoof and hard to jam, shows strong potential for securing sensitive data.

The End of the Beginning   December 1, 2005
By: Per Enge

The single greatest challenge for GPS this upcoming year is to accelerate the delivery of L5. The second greatest challenge is to foster the inertial and terrestrial radio technologies needed to usher in the golden age of navigation.
