HAWKLOC: A Near Horizon Target Localization Program.

Abstract

This technical report describes the mathematics underlying the HAWKLOC target localization program. This program was designed for application to the problem of near-horizon (short-range) target localization in support of Battle Group Operations. HAWKLOC is based on a fix computation algorithm that is resistant to bad data. Given two or more estimated lines of bearing and corresponding ship (sensor) positions, HAWKLOC computes the best estimate of target location and the associated areas of uncertainty. HAWKLOC features an adaptive data screening capability and a diagnostic procedure.
