Method for navigation of moving platform by using satellite data supplemented by satellite-calibrated baro data

摘要

The method of supplementing the satellite data by the satellite-calibrated baro data when the receiver autonomous integrity monitoring function (RAIM) is unavailable and when the horizontal protection level (HPL) does not satisfy the horizontal alert limit (HAL) requirement is disclosed. The baro data is calibrated with satellite data if maximum weighted vertical dilution of precision with one satellite removed at one time (max {SubWVDOP}) is less than a predetermined threshold (TSUB) and if a test statistic is less than a predetermined test statistic threshold (TST). The HPL is re-computed using the satellite-calibrated baro data. The re-computed HPL could satisfy the HAL requirement which would make the RAIM function available when it would be otherwise unavailable.
