5. • Specific ARAIM Technical Sub-Group (TSG) established in
2010
‒ under the U.S.-EU Agreement on GPS-Galileo Cooperation signed
in 2004 on the cooperation activities between the USA and the
EU in the field of satellite navigation
‒ aims to develop an advanced integrity concept in civil aviation
‒ to develop a solution to ensure navigation integrity for en-route
flight, terminal, and approach operations, which should support
lateral and vertical guidance down to a Decision Height/Altitude
(DH/DA) of 200 feet
‒ produced 3 reports publicly available
‒ defined roadmap
EU-US ARAIM Technical Sub-Group

6. • Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring is a concept
with the intention to provide a global integrity service based on
multiple satellite constellation
• The ARAIM concept is based on three possible architectures
enabling different level of performance:
‒ Horizontal ARAIM, to support horizontal navigation based on an occasional
Integrity Support Message (ISM) updates
‒ Offline ARAIM, to support horizontal and vertical navigation based on a
monthly Integrity Support Message (ISM) updates
‒ Online ARAIM, to support horizontal and vertical navigation based on an
Integrity Support Message (ISM) frequently updates (e.g. every 12 minutes)

ARAIM receiver’s prototype, following the guidelines
defined by the ARAIM TSG (Technical Sub Group).
• To characterise, consolidate and validate the local
effects of the threat model as specified by the ARAIM
TSG.
• To contribute to the standardisation activities on
ARAIM.

10. • Aims to define the requirements and implementing
the ARAIM receiver’s first version prototype
1) Define all receiver’s requirements (functional,
safety, performance)
2) Design and develop the prototype receiver using

available
3) Consolidate a performance validation plan
TASK 1
10

11. • Aims to assess the achievable performance of the
implemented receiver’s prototype

1) in a simulated environment (with support of JRC)
2) using real GNSS signal in a number of representative scenarios (real
signal validation)
• ARAIM receiver performance to be assessed against SoL
requirements
TASK 2
11
NOTE: Tests to be conducted in coordination with other relevant projects

12. • R&D FOR ADVANCED RECEIVER AUTONOMOUS INTEGRITY MONITORING:
ARAIM DEMONSTRATOR
‒ ARAIM Demonstrator development including tests with real Galileo Signal In Space (SIS)
• AVIATION STANDARDISATION FOR MULTICONSTELLATION (ATLAS)
‒ draft technical standards for implementation of multiconstellation/dual frequency, next
generation SBAS and Advanced RAIM techniques, as aviation receiver standards are
currently published for GPS stand-alone and GPS/SBAS equipment
• AVIATION DFMC SBAS RECEIVER PROTOTYPE
‒ design, develop and test a prototype of the DFMC SBAS user terminal for the aviation SoL
service, augmenting GPS and Galileo capabilities including Horizontal-ARAIM and RAIM
Other initiatives related to ARAIM
12
Applicants shall propose a project plan aiming at maximising the effectiveness of the project
results allowing for the interaction with the above as minimum or any other relevant projects.

13. TASK 3
13
• Transversal activity
1) Disseminate of the project results
- including at least 2 technical papers to international conferences
2) Contribute to standardisation activities
- if the results deemed satisfactory and meaningful as an input
3) Provide technical support to GSA/EC
