GPS-WAAS Receiver

A Global Positioning System (GPS) Receiver combined with the unparalleled accuracy and integrity monitoring of Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), this Cobham component meets requirements for primary navigation receiver for enroute and approach guidance. The receiver utilizes the signals coming from GPS Satellite Constellation and Satellite-Based Augmentation System (SBAS), such as WAAS or EGNOS.

The primary function of Cobham's GPS-WAAS Receiver is to compute the Position, Velocity of an aircraft and the Precise Time (PVT). It also computes the integrity of the PVT from the SBAS signal, if available. The GPS detects and excludes failed satellites (FD/FDE) using Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (RAIM) algorithm, whenever there are enough satellites, regardless of SBAS availability.
