Back in 1991 when the integration design for this system was being developed, there was very little guidance information available to assist in the design of integrated GPS-- at that time, we were at the forefront of the GPS integration movement. The approach selected utilized the pseudo-FMS capabilities of the INS in conjunction with a GPS Integration Module that provided the required signal inputs, partitioning, filtering, and RAIM. This design would allow the aircraft to navigate using GPS sole-means, integrated INS-GPS, or INS (in addition to RNAV). To minimize program cost/schedule and provide a near drop-in solution, modified Commercial Off-the-Shelf was utilized where possible. In what ways is this similar to your situation? In what ways is it applicable? We may be able to help.

A detailed diagram of the E-4B GPS Integration is summarized below. Enjoy.
