Report of the DoD Geoceiver Test Program.
Abstract
A test program was designed to evaluate the capabilities of the AN/PRR-14, a portable doppler Geodetic Receiver(GEOCEIVER). Geoceiver data acquired jointly by each of the three Services were assembled and processed by each to determine the precise positions of the observing stations. Geoceiver was shown to be an instrument of excellent geodetic capability. Automatic-mode operation was found to be efficient and economical. Data produced by Geoceiver were prepared for final computation by transfer to magnetic tape, editing, satellite identification (unscrambling), and archiving for subsequent recall. Comparisons are made between point positioning, translocation, and short-arc techniques, using coordinates from the National Ocean Survey High Precision Geodimeter Traverse as the standard. (Author)
