Gate-to-Gate with Modernized GPS, GALILEO and GBAS

This paper discusses current challenges, as a result of the rapid increase in air travel, and future navigation needs of Civil Aviation. The objectives pursued by ANASTASIA, a sixth framework European Commission project, are presented. The methods used in the derivation of the navigation performance requirements are introduced and discussed in the context of precision approaches. High-level impacts on the avionics receiver of integrating additional multi-frequency ranging signals from a modernized GPS and Galileo into the current navigation architecture are investigated. Expected performance achievements are presented.
