SIMULATION ERROR ANALYSIS SYSTEM, PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT

Abstract

The theory, program philosophy, and operating instructions for the Simulation Error Analysis System (COSINE 5B) are presented. As a joint effort undertaken by the RCAF Directorate of Systems Evaluation and the USAF 496L systems Project Office, the computer system, developed at Aeronutronic, provides an automatic means with which the observations of a specified orbit obtained from a sensor network may be simulated and analyzed, yielding the uncertainty in the orbit elements due to the observational inaccuracies. The system also provided the capability of predicting future position and velocity errors caused by the uncertainty in the orbit elements.
