Augmentation of a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) or Blended navigation is a method of improving the navigation system's attributes, such as accuracy, reliability, and availability, through the integration of external information into the calculation process. There are many such systems in place and they are generally named or described based on how the GNSS sensor receives the external information. Some systems transmit additional information about sources of error (such as clock drift, ephemeris, or ionospheric delay), others provide direct measurements of how much the signal was off in the past, while a third group provide additional vehicle information to be integrated in the calculation process. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) is the standard generic term for satellite navigation systems that provide autonomous geo-spatial positioning with global coverage. ...
Satellite Based Augmentation System
A Satellite Based Augmentation System (SBAS) is a system that supports wide-area or regional augmentation through the use of additional satellite-broadcast messages. Such systems are commonly composed of multiple ground stations, located at accurately-surveyed points. The ground stations take measurements of one or more of the GNSS satellites, the satellite signals, or other environmental factors which may impact the signal received by the users. Using these measurements, information messages are created and sent to one or more satellites for broadcast to the end users. For other uses, please see Satellite (disambiguation) A satellite is an object that orbits another object (known as its primary). ...
While SBAS designs and implementations may vary widely, with SBAS being a general term referring to any such satellite-based augmentation system, under the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) rules a SBAS must transmit a specific message format and frequency which matches the design of the United States' Wide Area Augmentation System.[citation needed] The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), an agency of the United Nations, codifies the principles and techniques of international air navigation and fosters the planning and development of international air transport to ensure safe and orderly growth. ...

Ground Based Augmentation System Each of the terms Ground Based Augmentation System (GBAS) and Ground-based Regional Augmentation System (GRAS) describe a system that supports augmentation through the use of terrestrial radio messages. As with the satellite based augmentation systems detailed above, ground based augmentation systems are commonly composed of one or more accurately surveyed ground stations, which take measurements concerning the GNSS, and one or more radio transmitters, which transmit the information directly to the end user.
Generally, GBAS networks are considered localized, supporting receivers within 20km, and transmitting in the Very High Frequency (VHF) or Ultra High Frequency (UHF) bands. Where-as GRAS is applied to systems that support a larger, regional area, and transmit in the Low frequency (LF) and Medium frequency (MF) bands.[citation needed] Very high frequency (VHF) is the radio frequency range from 30 MHz (wavelength 10 m) to 300 MHz (wavelength 1 m). ...

Additional Navigation Sensors The augmentation may also take the form of additional information being blended into the position calculation. Many times the additional navigation sensors operate via a different principle than the GNSS and as such are not necessary subject to the same sources of error or interference. A system such as this is referred to as an Aircraft Based Augmentation System (ABAS) by the ICAO.
The additional sensors may include:
