Abstract

See full text

A local area positioning system which includes a plurality of platforms or nodes consisting of airborne and/or ground based vehicles that are coupled in a platform-to-platform local area network. The platforms themselves establish a spatial reference system for location and communication between platforms is accomplished using directive millimeter wave beams, and where measurements and communicated estimates of node locations, in a local inertial reference frame, are processed via Kalman tracking filters to generate updated estimates of position and velocity vectors associated with each node.
