Ionospheric Research in Support of Next Generation Satellite Based Augmentation Systems

The objectives of the research described in the proposal include studying ionospheric effects on next generation satellite based aviation systems with particular focus on systems that will operate in the low-latitude regions. Task 1 is related to the range delay and scintillation research in the South American region and their effects on current and next generation aviation systems. Task 2 describes studies of ionospheric storm effects on Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) and their connection with storm effects in the low-latitude regions. Task 3 is dedicated to international outreach programs that promote acceptance of Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and GNSS-based aviation systems. The significance of the research will define the capabilities and limitations of next generation satellite based augmentation systems that will be challenged by intense ionospheric conditions.
