The Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) improves the accuracy and reliability of user positioning by transmitting the error correction and integrity information of the global navigation satellite system signal from geostationary satellites in real time. For this reason, SBAS was designed for aircraft operations and approach procedures and is now in operational or development stages in many countries. Time has passed since the construction of SBAS and many changes have occurred in the composition of the monitoring stations and the geostationary satellites. These changes have been investigated and the current operation and development status of SBAS globally are surveyed. The development and test schedules for the transition to dual frequency multi-constellation, an important topic in SBAS, are discussed.

Global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) use dual frequency signals to remove ionosphere delay effect. GNSS receivers have their own biases, called inter-frequency bias (IFB) between dual frequencies due to differential signal delays in receiving each frequency codes. The IFB degrades pseudo-range and ionosphere delay accuracies, and they must be accurately estimated. Simultaneous estimation of ionosphere map and IFB is applied in order to analyze the IFB estimation accuracy and variability. GPS network data in Korea is used to compute each receiver's IFB. Accuracy changes due to ionosphere model changes is analyzed and the effect of external GNSS satellite IFB on the receiver IFB is analyzed.

The Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) positioning has been widely used in geodesy, surveying, and navigation fields. RTK can benefit enormously from the integration of multi-GNSS. In this study, we develop a GPS/BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) RTK integration algorithm for long baselines ranging from 128 km to 335 km in South Korea. The positioning performance with GPS/BDS RTK, GPS-only RTK, and BDS-only RTK is compared in terms of the positioning accuracy. An improvement of positioning accuracy over long baselines can be found with GPS/BDS RTK compared with that of GPS-only RTK and that of BDS-only RTK. The positioning accuracy of GPS/BDS RTK is better than 2 cm in the horizontal direction and better than 5 cm in the vertical direction. A lower Relative Dilution of Precision (RDOP) value with GPS/BDS integration can obtain a better positional precision for long baseline RTK positioning.

One of the hot issues on GNSS might be that China declared to broadcast the signal of the new Global Navigation Satellite System called Beidou-Compass in December 2011. The multi-GNSS systems with the existing GPS and GLONASS consist of more than 100 GNSS satellites and transmit their signals in near future. Many benefits are expected in accuracy, availability, integrity and increasing anti-jam performance. In this presentation, we have mainly investigated the latest issue for multi- GNSS and discussed spectrum analysis as well as the accuracy improvement issue. The use of the modern weapon system based on satellite navigation information was also briefly investigated in warfare.

Global Navigation Satellite Systems are expected to meet system-defined integrity requirements when users utilize the system for safety critical applications. While the guaranteed integrity performance of GPS and Galileo is publicly available, their integrity assurance procedure and related methodology have not been released to the public in an official document format. This paper summarizes the integrity assurance procedures of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Galileo, which were utilized during their system development, through a literature survey of their integrity assurance methodology. GPS Block II assures system integrity using the following methods: continuous performance monitoring and maintenance on Space Segment (SS) and Control Segment (CS), through a cause and effect analysis of anomalies and a failure analysis. In GPS Block III, to achieve more stringent integrity performance, safety requirements are integrated into the system design and development from its starting phase to the final phase. Galileo's integrity performance is provided in the Integrity Support Message (ISM) format, as Galileo utilizes a Dual Frequency Multi Constellation (DFMC) Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) and Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) to serve safety critical applications. The integrity performance of Galileo is ensured by using a methodology similar to GPS Block II (i.e. continuous performance monitoring and maintenance on the system). The integrity assurance procedures reviewed in this paper can be utilized for a new satellite navigation system that will be developed in the near future.

최근 위성항법장치를 활용한 GPS(Global Positioning System)를 통해 위성에서 보내는 위치정보를 이용하여 사용자에게 다양한 서비스를 제공하는 위치기반서비스가 이뤄지고 있다. 하지만 위성신호의 특성상 고층 건물이 밀집되어 있는 도심과 같은 지역에서는 반사, 굴절로 인해 오차를 가진 위치정보를 얻게 된다. 본 연구과제는 GPS 위치신호 오차를 보정하기 위해 사용자의 이동방향 정보의 방향벡터를 계산하여 분산된 위치좌표를 방향벡터 위로 보정하는 후처리 알고리즘을 제안하고자 한다. 도심지역에서의 차량주행 실험을 통하여 기존 GPS 보다 평균 11.1m(43%)의 정확도 향상을 통하여 제안한 후처리 알고리즘의 우수성을 입증하였다.

본 논문에서는 INS/GPS결합 시스템에서 GPS가 기만신호 또는 지형지물에 의한 가시선이 제한되어 위성의 기하학적 배치가 저하되는 조건을 고려하였고, 통합항법 성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법을 제안하였다. 먼저 GPS의 DOP에 측정 공분산 이 연동되는 가변 공분산 확장 칼만필터(VCEKF)를 제시하였다. 그리고 몬테칼로 시뮬레이션을 통하여 EKF와 VCEKF를 사용한 통합항법 시스템의 항법성능을 분석하였다. DOP 값이 낮은 경우보다 DOP값이 높을 경우에 VCEKF가 확정 공분산을 사용하는 EKF보다 우수한 추정 성능을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

GNSS (global navigation satellite systems)은 민 군 차원에서 매우 다양한 분야에 활용되고 있다. 그러나 GNSS 신호는 재밍에 상당히 취약해 쉽게 방해 받을 가능성이 상존하기에 GNSS을 사용 불가능할 시에도 일정 수준의 항법성능을 보장하여 주는 일련의 백업 또는 대체항법 시스템이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 의사위성 또는 트랜시버를 장착한 고고도 장기체공 무인기(HALE UAV; high altitude long endurance unmanned aerial vehicle)의 개념을 도입하여 국지적인 지역에서 백업 또는 대체항법 시스템을 제안하고자 하였다. 제안된 대체항법 시스템을 기반으로 고고도 장기체공 무인기의 위치 오차를 추정하고, 이를 바탕으로 최종적인 사용자 위치정확도를 산출하여 본 연구에서의 국지적 대체항법의 성능을 나타내었다.

Geofencing supports unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operation by defining stay-in and stay-out regions. National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) has developed a prototype of the geofencing function, SAFEGUARD, which prevents stayout region violation by utilizing position estimates. Thus, SAFEGUARD depends on navigation system performance, and the safety risk associated with the navigation system uncertainty should be considered. This study presents a methodology to compute the safety risk assessment-based along-track position error bound under nominal and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) failure conditions. A Kalman filter system using pseudorange measurements as well as pseudorange rate measurements is considered for determining the position uncertainty induced by velocity uncertainty. The worst case pseudorange and pseudorange rate fault-based position error bound under the GNSS failure condition are derived by applying a Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitor (RAIM). Position error bound simulations are also conducted for different GNSS fault hypotheses and constellation conditions with a GNSS/INS integrated navigation system. The results show that the proposed along-track position error bounds depend on satellite geometries caused by UAV attitude change and are reduced to about 40% of those of the single constellation case when using the dual constellation.
