    摘要: Systems and methods for fault detection, exclusion, isolation, and re-configuration of navigation sensors using an abstraction layer are provided. In certain embodiments, a system includes a plurality of sensors that provide redundant sensor measurements, wherein redundancy of the redundant sensor measurements is achieved based on an independence between measurements from different physical sensor units in the plurality of sensors. The system additionally includes a fusion function configured to receive the redundant sensor measurements from each sensor in the plurality of sensors and calculate fused navigation parameters. Further, the system includes an abstraction layer that calculates an estimated state based on the fused navigation parameters, wherein the estimated state comprises safety assessment information for the fused navigation parameters and the fused navigation parameters. Moreover, the system includes a plurality of user systems, wherein each user system in the plurality of user systems receives the estimated state from the abstraction layer.

    摘要: A method for determining fleet wide integrity comprises forming a user measurement block for each user in a fleet network, the user measurement block comprising: navigation measurements received by the user, relative user measurements received by the user from other users, and navigation state and integrity solutions. The user measurement block is signed and sent to all other users for validation. Each user executes a numerical process to determine a navigation state and integrity of all users. A fleet state block is formed comprising: a header including a hash of last valid fleet state block header, a nonce - proof of work, and a root hash of Merkle tree; and a data block including measurement, state, and integrity information of the fleet. The fleet state block is sent to all other users for validation. If the fleet state block passes validation, the user forms a chain of fleet state blocks.

    摘要: A method for computing and applying alternative uncertainty limits (500) is provided. The method includes generating a main solution from a plurality of received measurement signals (504). A solution separation is applied using a filter bank to generate sub-solutions from the received plurality of measurement signals (506). Each sub-solution uses all of the measurement signals from the plurality of measurement signals except one measurement signal to generate the associated sub-solution. Each sub-solution excludes a different measurement signal. One sub-solution is selected as fault free (508). A difference between the main solution and the selected sub-solution is determined (510). The determined difference is added to a rare normal protection limit to create a solution with improved integrity bounding (512). The solution with improved integrity bounding is then implemented (514).

    摘要: Techniques for detecting GNSS spoofing using inertial mixing data are disclosed. One or more navigation parameters are determined by at least one GNSS receiver and a plurality of IRS from at least two periods of time. The navigation parameters from the GNSS receiver(s) and the IRS are compared at each time period, and the difference(s) between the compared navigation parameters are further compared to generate at least one differential value. A system can detect GNSS spoofing by comparing the at least one differential value to a suitable threshold. In one aspect each IRS navigation parameter is compared with a corresponding GNSS navigation parameter, wherein the plurality of differential values is mixed before threshold comparison. In another aspect, each IRS navigation parameter is mixed before comparison with a GNSS navigation parameter, and the resulting differential value is then compared against a threshold.

    摘要: Systems and methods for isolating attitude failures are provided. In one embodiment, an attitude integrity and display system comprises a display system comprising a primary system displaying a first attitude solution and a standby system displaying a second attitude solution;an attitude integrity system generating an attitude integrity (AI) solution calculated from measurements from an attitude solution data source, the AI solution comprising an aircraft roll and pitch, the data source providing data independent from any data generated by inertial sensor flight instruments and not displayed on either the primary or the standby systems; and an attitude monitor that compares the first solution against the second solution. When the first solution deviates from the second solution by more than a threshold, the monitor identifies on the display system which of either the first or the second solution is failed based on which has a greater deviation from the AI solution.
