Old and New Techniques Provide Dynamic Precise Positioning

Paul K. Dano

Abstract:	A new dynamic precise positioning system, unique in that it is completely user RF passive, self-initializing and self-calibrating, is a combination of techniques using the best features of Loran A to GPS. Most all navigation and positioning systems have had some advantage, their replacements offering increased coverage or lower cost, but not necessarily better positioning. No one system as yet has been all things to all users. A new pulse passive technique is an accumulation of the best features of many systems. As information becomes available, the system can degrade gracefully to GPS accuracy. The concept allows one to get dynamic precise positioning today while keeping an eye on tomorrow for GPS's promise.
