    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A method for computing and applying alternative uncertainty limits is provided. The method includes generating a main solution from a plurality of received measurement signals. A solution separation is applied using a filter bank to generate sub-solutions from the received plurality of measurement signals. 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. A difference between the main solution and the selected sub-solution is determined. The determined difference is added to a rare normal protection limit to create a solution with improved integrity bounding. The solution with improved integrity bounding is then implemented.

    Abstract: 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.
