Onboard Pseudolite Augmentation System for Relative Navigation

Tobe Corazzini and Jonathan P. How

Abstract:	GPS carrier phase positioning can provide accurate measurements of relative position and attitude be-tween multiple vehicles. In environments without ade-quate signal coverage from the NAVSTAR GPS satel-lites, the available signals can be augmented with pseu-dolites onboard the vehicles in the formation. This paper experimentally demonstrates the feasibility such a system, with a formation of three vehicles. In addition, this paper examines some of the robustness issues wit h such a setup, specifically in dealing with re-initialization of the carrier phase integers.
