Abstract :
The present paper describes an innovative system providing augmentation services following the cloud computing paradigm. Thanks to its flexibility it enables a large number of users to access to enhanced WADGPS functionalities in the navigation domain. Such platform, called augmentation module, relying on EGNOS and EDAS, has been originally conceived to make available integrity services to existent systems through an easy integration that avoid complete redesign of existing services. Such system for the remote Protection Levels computation has been successfully adapted and exploited in two projects funded by European Commission (GOLDEN-ICE and SAFE-PORT). Example of tests and results achieved by means of Augmentation Module will be reported at the end of the paper.
