European Tripartite Agreement (1998)

• TECHNICAL DEVELOPMENT OF EGNOS
• OPERATION, TESTING, VALIDATION

• INSTITUTIONAL AND POLICY MATTERS
• USER REQUIREMENTS, TEST VALIDATION, OTHER MODES
  OF TRANSPORT

• CIVIL AVIATION USER REQUIREMENTS
• VALIDATION AGAINST DEVELOPED SYSTEM
• ENSURE GNSS-1 OPERATIONALLY ACCEPTABLE

Mission Requirements To Operational Validation
12
GNSS-1 Operational Validation

• EUROCONTROL will coordinate the GNSS-1 (EGNOS)
  Operational Validation
• To support the Member States in achieving the
  approval for the provision of EGNOS services
  throughout ECAC (European Civil Aviation
  Conference)
• Two distinct areas of work
• Technical Validation of the performance
• SARPS requirements RNP values
• MOPS DO229C compliant receiver
• Definition of operational rules and procedures
  for aircraft to use the system for a particular
  application (APV implementation)

13
Technical Validation of the EGNOS Performances

• Preparatory activities
• Static Data Collection
• ESTB Data Collection Network (ESTB)
• Data Evaluation Tools PEGASUS
• Integrity Validation Studies
• Flight Trials at various locations
• Bretigny, Nice, Sion

PEGASUS

• PEGASUS (Prototype EGNOS and GBAS Analysis System
  Using SAPPHIRE)
• software tool designed to process data collected
  in-flight and on-ground with the European
  Satellite Test-Bed (ESTB)

PEGASUS Data Flow
16
PEGASUS

• PEGASUS frame program
• allows the operation of multiple basic components
  (modules) within a unified interface, providing
  scheduling and sequencing functions to automate
  tool operation
