Error Analysis of a Dual-Range Navigation Fix and Determination of an Optimal Survey Pattern,

Abstract

Off-track navigation errors are analyzed for a vehicle using a dual-range navigation system. A unique survey pattern which minimizes off-track error is found, and this pattern is compared with more conventional tracking patterns. It is suggested that HYSURCH use the standard procedure of circle-riding, with modifications from the local topography. (Author)
