Abstract
An arrangement and appertaining method utilizing the arrangement provides a cost effective way to implement an accurate and cost effective satellite positioning differential augmentation system. This hybrid system integrates a network of Ground Based Augmentation Systems (GBAS) with a Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS), permitting the high integrity features of the GBAS to be utilized with the much broader coverage area of the SBAS system without requiring significant expenditures that would be required for upgrading either of the systems independently.
