  • Systems and methods for updating HIL and HFOM integrity components when not extrapolating position data
    Patent number: 9069068
    Abstract: Systems and methods for reporting position and associated integrity during times when extrapolation is not taking place as accurately as possible. In one example, a processing device deactivates extrapolation of global positioning system (GPS) position information based on a predefined condition, receives ground speed information, and HFOM and HIL values from a global position system (GPS); calculates inflated HFOM and HIL values based on the received HFOM and HIL values and the ground speed and generates an automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast (ADS-B) OUT signal based on the calculated inflated HFOM and HIL values. A transmitter coupled to the processing device transmits the generated ADS-B OUT signal.
