  • Publication number: 20210266091
    Abstract: A system includes at least one reception unit installed in an aircraft and configured for tracking satellites of the satellite navigation system of the GNSS type. The system includes a generation unit for generating an expected number corresponding to the number of satellites that the reception unit is expected to track, a detection unit including a comparison part for comparing the expected number with a tracked number corresponding to the number of satellites that the reception unit is actually tracking and a decision part for detecting a jamming, as a function of the result of the comparison made by the comparison part and transmitting detection data in the event of detection, and a transmission unit configured to transmit jamming detection data to at least one user device, the system making it possible to detect a jamming of a GNSS system in an automatic and reliable manner.

  • Publication number: 20200124742
    Abstract: A guidance system comprises a receiving module for receiving first and second pseudo-ranges sent by at least five satellites of a geopositioning system, a determining module for determining an ionospheric correction, a determining module for determining a usable pseudo-range, a determining module for determining a usable residual ionospheric error, a determining module for determining a usable standard deviation and a guiding module for guiding the aircraft from the pseudo-range of each of the at least five satellites and the usable standard deviation of each of the at least five satellites. The guidance system makes it possible to ensure the integrity of the two-frequency ionospheric corrections of the geopositioning system.
