HORIZONTAL/VERTICAL PROTECTION LEVEL ADJUSTMENT SCHEME FOR RAIM WITH BARO MEASUREMENTS

The method of supplementing the satellite data by the satellite-calibrated baro data when the receiver autonomous integrity monitoring function (RAIM) is unavailable and when the horizontal protection level (HPL) does not satisfy the horizontal alert limit (HAL) requirement is disclosed. The baro data is adjusted to compensate for the lack of baro calibration in the position solution domain. The HPL is re-computed using the satellite-calibrated adjusted baro data. The re-computed HPL could satisfy the HAL requirement which would make the RAIM function available when it would be otherwise unavailable.
