SBAS

Future-proof your aircraft today with SBAS.

Save time and money with our bespoke SBAS solutions, which seamlessly integrate with the aircraft’s existing navigation equipment, enabling your crews to get to their destination faster, safer, and more efficiently.

What is SBAS?
The Satellite Based Augmentation System is the next step in aircraft navigation, improving the accuracy and reliability of GPS (GNSS) information.

Why are our SBAS solutions unique?
Our cost-effective, stand-alone solution allows your current multi-mode receivers (MMRs) to remain installed. We only add two antennas and two receivers, significantly reducing the aircraft’s investment while providing all necessary equipment for a seamless transition. Your cockpit layout will not change.

Additionally, prepare for upcoming worldwide mandates requiring aircraft to comply with LPV technology, which relies on SBAS. Benefit from performance improvements on critical functions like ADS-B Out, ACAS, Controller Pilot Data Link Communications, TAWS, and more.

SBAS improves the accuracy and reliability of GPS information by correcting signal measurement errors

How does SBAS work?

Based on incoming GPS signals, the SBAS fixed ground stations determine the position error and differential corrections. The SBAS uplink station transmits these corrections to a geostationary satellite which sends it to the aircraft. This correction is fed into the SBAS receiver improving the GPS accuracy. This also enables features like LPV and a more accurate ADS-B.

SBAS is a key enabler of Performance Based Navigation (PBN) usage for Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast (ADS-B) and Localizer Performance with Vertical Guidance (LPV).
