Fault detection and exclusion using solution separation and chi-squared ARAIM

This paper provides new integrity and continuity risk evaluation methods for fault detection and exclusion (FDE) using receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM). These methods are developed for both solution separation (SS) and Chi-squared RAIM: they capture the fact that exclusion enables continuity risk reduction in exchange for a higher integrity risk. The two approaches are implemented in an example advanced RAIM (ARAIM) application for worldwide vertical guidance of aircraft using multiconstellation Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS).
