description The residual-based (RB) receiver autonomous integrity monitoring (RAIM) detector is a widely used receiver integrity enhancement technology that has the ability to rapidly respond to outliers. However, the sensitivity and vulnerability of the residuals to the outliers are the weaknesses of the method especially in the case of multi-outlier modes. It is an effective method for enhancing the validity of residuals by robust estimation instead of least squares (LS) estimation. In this paper, a modified RB RAIM detector based on a robust MM estimation with a higher detection performance under multi-outlier modes is presented. A fast subset selection method based on the characteristic slope that could reduce the number of subsets to be calculated is also presented. The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm maintains a more robust performance than the RB RAIM detector based on the LS estimator and M estimator with an IGG III function especially with the increase in the number of outliers. The proposed fast subset selection method can reduce the calculation time by at least 80%, demonstrating the practical application value of the algorithm.
