HOWLS LOCATER Computer Program: Description and User's Guide

Abstract

LOCATER is a computer program used to simulate projectile tracking radar estimation of weapon locations from real or simulated projectile tracking data. A complete mathematical description of the modified point mass trajectory modeling, radar random errors, wind, refraction, multipath and the likelihood estimator is included. Detailed user instruction and samples are covered. A programmer's guide to modification of the 7000 line FORTRAN program is included.
