    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for aircraft navigation along a predetermined airway, including an on-board navigation system supplying a positioning integrity of the aircraft during flight relative to said airway respecting an expected position precision performance level, and at least one on-board radio receiver on the aircraft suitable for communicating with at least one land-based radio beacon suitable for supplying a distance of the aircraft relative to said radio beacon. The system includes a module configured to obtain, from a current position of the aircraft and stored data, a tuple of radio beacons to be used, a module configured to obtain a distance measurement of the aircraft relative to each of the N radio beacons of said tuple, a module configured to compute an integrity position from distance measurements obtained by a predetermined computing method, and a module configured to use the computed integrity position as current integrity position.

    Abstract: A method for selecting at least one satellite navigation service provider from a plurality of predetermined providers, the selection method being computer-implemented and comprising: a step for receiving a geographical position; a step of determining an indication relating to the authorization of use of at least one provider of the plurality of predetermined providers, the determining step being implemented by at least one artificial neural network (24) associated with said provider, an input variable of the artificial neural network (24) being the geographical position, an output variable of the artificial neural network (24) being said indication; a step for selecting at least one provider for satellite navigation of an aircraft.

    Abstract: A localization method, implemented in a satellite system includes at least a first constellation associated with a probability of occurrence of multiple failures lower than a given integrity risk, where the method may advantageously comprise the following steps implemented by a radioelectric device: receive a plurality of navigation signals; select failure modes to be monitored other than the multiple failures of the first constellation; determine a navigation solution and a plurality of navigation sub-solutions; calculate, for each navigation sub-solution, one or more corresponding detection thresholds; calculate one or more protection levels.

    Abstract: A position of an aircraft is computed, associated with the radius of a sphere centered around the estimated position of the aircraft and within which the actual position of the aircraft is located with a probability equal to or greater than a predefined threshold. For this purpose, the computation is based on distances from radio transmitters each having a fixed position in a geographical reference frame. The positions of the radio transmitters are converted into a terrestrial reference system, before solving a system of equations linking, in the terrestrial reference system, the position of the aircraft and the positions of the radio transmitters. After solving the system of equations, the position of the aircraft is converted from the terrestrial reference system into the geographical reference frame.
