An opportunistic advanced receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (OARAIM) algorithm for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) navigation is developed. This algorithm fuses ambient terrestrial signals of opportunity (SOPs) with global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals to improve the capability of detecting GNSS and SOP measurement faults and provide tight protection level (PL) bounds. A receiver is assumed to make pseudorange measurements on multiple GNSS satellites and terrestrial SOPs. Experimental tests are presented injecting simulated faults into the OARAIM algorithm, which successfully detects the faults in GPS satellites and SOPs. Moreover, the OARAIM algorithm and the inclusion of the SOPs reduces the vertical and horizontal PLs by more than 55% and 70%, respectively, compared to only using GNSS measurements.
