The Development and Testing of the NAVSTAR Global Positioning System/Doppler Radar Velocity Sensor Heading Reference System (GDHED).

Abstract

A GPS/Doppler Heading Reference system was developed and field tested in a van for evaluation of performance in the Fort Monmouth, NJ area. Earth-referenced velocities derived from the GPS set and body referenced velocities derived from the AN/ASN-128 Doppler Set were combined in a separate HYBRID computer to determine true vehicle heading. The results of these tests successfully demonstrated that a new method of providing non-magnetic, non-gyrocompass vehicle heading is possible. (Author)
