High Altitude Navigation System Study Volume V. Sensitivity Analysis Report.

Abstract

This report, Volume 5 of the High Altitude Navigation System (HANS) Study, presents the sensitivity analyses carried out on the selected HANS system. Two Passive Range Interferometer Sensor (PRAIS) sensitivity analyses were conducted, one assuming atomic clock control of radar PRI, and one assuming crystal clock stability typical of MTI radars. Sensitivity data for the five study orbits is presented in terms of percent change in position error from the position error under nominal system (error) conditions. In these analyses two landmarks were tracked simultaneously, one with both passive ranging and interferometer landmark tracker (ILT) - the other with only the ILT.
