The Benefits of Integrating GPS, INS, and PCS

Raymond DiEsposti, Steven Saks, Lubo Jocic, Anthony Abbott

Abstract:	In the past, Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers have been integrated with other instruments, such as, precise time sources, inertial measurement units (IMUs), altimeters, and Doppler radar, to produce more accurate and robust integrated systems. Recently, personal communication service (PCS), which includes digital cellular telephony and data messaging, is becoming prevalent in the private sector. Several satellite systems will soon offer PCS service on a global basis. The authors will discuss how PCS can be integrated with GPS and Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) to produce enhanced navigation performance, situational awareness, and command and control capability.
