Air and Ground Vehicle Tracking System

Robert W. Mai

Abstract:	The U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground (USAYPG) reports the results of site acceptance testing of an Air and Ground Vehicle Tracking System (AGVTS). The AGVTS provides real-time, multiple vehicle, differential GPS data using CIA code receivers and a bi-directional UHF data link. A system description is provided as well as intended uses and operational procedures. Emphasis is placed on accuracy results and data link coverage including non-line-of-site scenarios. The truth source for trajectory comparisons was a Kalman filter/smoother running on measurements from up to four laser trackers and a ring laser gyro IRU. The truth source provides better than 0.5 meter position and 0.05 m/xc velocity accuracies.
