INTEGRITY CONTROL METHOD AND MERGING/CONSOLIDATION DEVICE COMPRISING A PLURALITY OF PROCESSING MODULES

摘要

The invention concerns a method for controlling the integrity of the value of a piece of navigation information delivered by a merging/consolidation device comprising a plurality of processing modules, each generating a navigation solution from measurements coming from one or a plurality of separate navigation devices, which involves defining, for each processing module, a radius of protection, corresponding to a given probability of failure, characterised in that it involves defining at least one consolidated area that encompasses protection areas centred on the solution values that are output from the processing modules and that correspond to the radii of protection defined for these modules, the radius of protection of said merging/consolidation device for said probability of failure itself being defined to correspond to said consolidated area.
