Integration of aime augmentation into GNSS products
First Claim
1. A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver for use in an aircraft, the GNSS receiver comprising:
- receiver circuitry for receiving satellite signals from a plurality of satellites, wherein the satellite signals contain satellite data, the receiver circuitry generating a first navigation solution for the aircraft as function of the satellite data;
a first receiver output for coupling to an inertial reference system (IRS) and providing the satellite data to the IRS, wherein the IRS to which the first receiver output couples generates a second navigation solution as a function of the satellite data and as a function of IRS position data;
a first receiver input for coupling to the IRS and receiving the second navigation solution from the IRS; and
a second receiver output for coupling to GNSS inputs of other systems in the aircraft, wherein the GNSS receiver provides at the second receiver output aircraft position information as a function of the second navigation solution.

Abstract
A global navigation satellite system (GNSS) receiver for use in an aircraft is disclosed. The GNSS receiver includes receiver circuitry for receiving satellite signals containing satellite data from a multiple GNSS satellites. The receiver circuitry generates a first navigation solution for the aircraft as function of the satellite data. A first GNSS receiver output couples to an inertial reference system (IRS) and provides the satellite data to the IRS. The IRS generates a second navigation solution for the aircraft as a function of the satellite data and as a function of IRS position data. A first GNSS receiver input couples to the IRS and receives the second navigation solution from the IRS. The GNSS receiver provides at a second output aircraft position information as a function of the second navigation solution.
