GMV presents gmvBRAVE (Brief Report for Analysis, Validation and Engineering platform), a powerful tool for SBAS engineering. SBAS systems are in great demand since they have revealed to be very useful not only for air navigation but for applications in many other fields. This fact has enabled that many countries have taken the leap to develop their own systems, and thus, the necessity of having an engineering tool that allows the complete monitoring of the performances and algorithms of a SBAS system, both for its development and operational stages, has become crucial. gmvBRAVE is a tool that has been designed with such purpose: to contribute to improve the process of analyzing and reporting daily SBAS performances. gmvBRAVE automatizes the execution of SBAS algorithms and performance postprocessing tools to ease the generation of thorough and visual reports. Combined with a web interface to ease the visualization of the huge amount of results generated, gmvBRAVE is a versatile tool that provides its users with the required information for the comparison of different SBAS versions. This comparison functionality is one of the strengths of the gmvBRAVE and gives development teams a unique opportunity for increasing the productivity with the identification of anomalous events. Furthermore, it facilitates the development of evolutions and improvements of SBAS algorithm that can be tested continuously for long time intervals by using available real data.The potential benefits that gmvBRAVE can provide as a tool for engineering and performance analysis for the current and future development, deployment and maintenance of any SBAS system will be shown through this paper.
