Positioning System Shipborne Reference System

Abstract

The long term goad is to understand the error sources that dominate the navigation accuracy of a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver on a ship. This information will then be used to design a system of receivers, auxiliary sensors, and data processing algorithms that can achieve a two meter position on ships using the current real time data coming from the GPS satellites. This system can then be used as a base station for differential GPS. This will increase the operational flexibility of the navy in carrying out many of its missions.
