Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) applications that require high level of integrity on computed position have been continuously increasing. This study focuses on deriving the vertical position error bound when Global Positioning System (GPS) is integrated with barometer for altitude computation. The error bound would greatly improve the performance of applications without causing safety problems.
