A Limited Characterization of Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring and Dual Polarized Antenna (Project Have DRAGON)

Abstract

This report documents testing results of an Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) algorithm and Dual Polarized Antenna (DPA) under the project name Have Detect, Recognize, and Adapt to Global Positioning System (GPS) Overt Noise (Have DRAGON). Testing was requested by the Stanford University GPS Lab, Stanford University, CA in support of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) objectives. The lead developmental test organization was the Air Force Test Center, Edwards AFB, California. The executing test organization was Class 19A of the USAF Test Pilot School, Edwards AFB. Testing was conducted from 6 September 2019 to 18 September 2019 and comprised of 4.5 ground test hours and 8 sorties totaling 17.6 flight test hours. The overall test objective was to investigate ARAIM and DPAs capability for improving airborne GNSS system robustness. All test objectives were met.
