Analytical Model for GNSS Receiver Implementation Losses

This paper seeks to provide an evaluation framework for comparing future ATM arrival/departure concept alternatives. The framework is based upon review of a sample of concept descriptions, proposed by industry, academia, and government, that was conducted to understand the wide variability of aspects addressed. The framework involves applying questions that can decompose concepts into more abstract terms so that features and critical parameters can be highlighted to help identify concept commonalities (and differences). A classification system is proposed for organizing the arrival/departure concepts. Using this classification system, a mapping of the arrival/departure concepts within the taxonomy described was performed.
