gmvBRA VB as engineering, analysis and validation platform for SBAS Systems

Abstract

gmvBRAVE is a solution that streamlines engineering, analysis and validation tasks, including algorithm testing, in SBAS systems. It provides a helpful service that contributes to improve the process of monitoring, reporting and analysing the daily performances of these systems. Through the automation of the daily executions of SBAS processing algorithms and the performance analysis tools, gmvBRAVE reduces the time cost and increases the efficiency of repetitive engineering tasks which allows extending the range and scope of the analysis. In each execution, it generates an extensive set of outcomes that allows the quick detection and assessment of any incidence or performance degradation of the SBAS service. gmvBRAVE is employed by GMV as the key platform to evaluate the performances of those systems for which GMV's elements are responsible for the computation of the SBAS augmentation message, including EGNOS in Europe and the Australia and New Zealand SBAS Testbed. On the one hand, the current work will show relevant results about the performances of both systems and focusing on the use of the platform on this latter system. On the other hand, all the presented results will be used to show the capabilities and added value that gmvBRAVE provide as engineering, analysis and validation tool for both operating SBAS and systems still under development.
