Multipurpose Universal Simplified TLE Calculator (MUSTC)

Abstract

The U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Analysis Center created an algorithm to estimate the target location error for position, navigation, and timing (PNT) sensors and systems. The algorithm can be used even if the exact algorithm that the system uses to find an object of interest is proprietary or unknown. The program is highly modular and expandable; therefore, it is relatively easy to add a wide array of different PNT sensors, systems, and targets. However, the only sensors that have been added at this time are Signals Intelligence systems using time difference of arrival, frequency difference of arrival, and/or angle of arrival as well as electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems that may have laser range finders and photon counting detectors measuring the radiation from calibrated sources.
