Increasing the Robustness of Drone Operations with Galileo Open Service Navigation Message Authentication (OSNMA)

Abstract

As drones are being increasingly used in liability and safety related applications, the trust that can be put in the information they are reporting, in particular regarding their position, is becoming crucial. This paper demonstrates, using real data collected on-board a drone, how Galileo navigation data authentication service can contribute to increase the robustness of the position reported.
