WG-62
Space

GNSS

1.The WG-62 develops standards for the use of GALILEO and other GNSS systems in civil aviation applications.
•One aspect of this strategy is to discuss and make recommendations to the Galileo project on points of concern from civil aviation equipment manufacturers and users.
•The other aspect of this strategy is to produce the necessary regulatory framework for the development of GNSS receivers using Galileo and other GNSS systems, mainly the Minimum Operational Performance Standards MOPS.

2.The WG-62 works jointly with RTCA SC-159 WG-2 to establish common standards for the development of GNSS receivers using Galileo and other GNSS systems
•A regular and strong coordination with RTCA is required to ensure the wide acceptance of the standards for the development of GNSS receivers using Galileo and other GNSS systems.

3.The WG-62 supports the use of EGNOS and other SBAS systems
•Several SBAS systems are certified for safety of life operations (EGNOS over Europe and WAAS over USA …). WG-62 provides a forum for SBAS users, to capture the lessons learnt from the implementation of SBAS services in EUROCAE standardisation documents and insure interoperability at the user level.
•The group will develop DFMC standards and ensure coordination with other regional constellation.
