Differential GPS in the Range Applications Program

Jacques Beser, Michael E. Lyon

Abstract:	The Range Applications Program consists of instrumenting several DOD test ranges with differential GPS to provide a source of 'truth' position information for air, sea and land vehicles. Several differential GPS methods are to be implemented consisting of either uplinking pseudorange correction terms to the participant, downlinking the participant GPS measurements and inertial data for ground processing along with the pseudorange correction terms of downlinking the participant navigation solution for correction by the navigation correction terms. In addition, a relative navigation mode is also implemented, in which a relative solution is calculated between a participant and host ship
