Robustness Levels of Critical Infrastructures Against Global Navigation Satellite System Signal Disturbances †.

Resilience against signal disturbances is an important characteristic of GNSS-based PNT solutions. In particular, for critical infrastructures, failure to provide correct PNT information in these domains may have a major societal impact. The Resilience Framework by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) provides a set of requirements and guidelines to design a PNT solution of a certain level of resilience. Over the lifetime of the applications, it will be of prime importance to assess the resilience of the PNT solutions on a regular basis. Given how often GNSS-based solutions are being applied, partly automating the assessment process will be needed to make this task feasible. To automate the generative process, a machine-readable structure with well-established meaning is required. In this work, the use of fault trees as a formal system to encode the resilience framework is investigated. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
