System and method for satellite positioning
A method and system for determining a receiver position comprising receiving satellite observations from a set of satellites, determining differenced observations based on the satellite observations, determining an all-in-view position of the receiver based on the differenced observations, determining a set of fault modes each associated with a subset of the differenced observations, for a fault mode of the set of fault modes, determining a fault-tolerant position of the receiver using the subset of differenced observations associated with the fault mode, when the all-in-view position and the fault tolerant position of the receiver for each fault mode are within a solution separation threshold, calculating a protection level associated with the all-in-view position of the receiver.
Detecting fault states of an aircraft
An apparatus for detecting a fault state of an aircraft is provided. The apparatus accesses a training set of flight data for the aircraft. The training set includes observations of the flight data, each observation of the flight data includes measurements of properties selected and transformed into a set of features. The apparatus builds a generative adversarial network including a generative model and a discriminative model using the training set and the set of features, and builds an anomaly detection model to predict the fault state of the aircraft. The anomaly detection model is trained using the training set of flight data, simulated flight data generated by the generative model, and a subset of features from the set of features. The apparatus deploys the anomaly detection model to predict the fault state of the aircraft using additional observations of the flight data.
