EGNOS operational test and validation for civil aviation: programme outline

EUROCONTROL and representatives from its member states developed the GNSS mission requirements for civil aviation. The civil aviation requirements will form the basis of a validation programme with the aim to demonstrate that the use of EGNOS in ECAC airspace meets the civil aviation requirements.This report presents the result of a study to define the scope of the work for the operational test and validation of EGNOS. The study was initiated on request of the States that intend to provide services based on EGNOS. The statement of work was developed by the System Research and Development (SRD) taskforce of the EATCHIP Satellite Navigation Applications (SNA) group, in which forum the progress of the work was also monitored.
