Abstract

AD- <%> +)<N2 AD-256 703LDiv. 6, 15U (26 May 61) Integrated Range Mission, White Sands Missile Range, N. Mex. A DIRECT SOLUTION FOR OBJECT POSITION FROM LINE OF SIGHT DATA, by Lester B. Hamilton, Jr. Final rept. May 61, 15p. (Technical rept. no. 104) (DA Proj. 516-01-008) Unclassified report No automatic release to Foreign Nationals. DESCRIPTORS: Errors, *Least squares method, Direction finding, *Position finding, Sta tistical analysis, *Tracking. A direct (i.e., non-iterative), linea , weighted method of least squares solution is presented for object position from two or more nonparallel lines of sight. A DDITIONAL WEIGHTING BY COMPONENTS IS DEVELOPED FOR ANGLE MEASURING EQUIPMENT DIRECTION COSINE DATA. (Author)
