ADVANCED COMPUTATIONAL ALGORITHMS FOR LARGE SCALE, THREE DIMENSIONAL, ARTILLERY SURVEY APPLICATIONS,
Abstract
It is the purpose of this paper to demonstrate how a newly derived set of computational algorithms allows complete flexibility and rigor in solving for tracking station coordinates and their associated error models in a large, simultaneous, three dimensional adjustment. The algorithms will be used to solve a hypothetical, artillery survey problem. The new system is called the Long Range Position Determining System (LRPDS), and it is being investigated for its application in the artillery problem. The new algorithms are considered to provide a major computational break-through for efficiently handling very large, Second Order Regression Schemes, and they allow the engineer to extend his hypotheses associated with problems of systematic errors. It is the purpose of this paper to develop a Second Order Regression Scheme for LRPDS and to show that it is computationally feasible to invert this large system of equations for its solution and error propagation.
