Decimeter Positioning and Navigation with the Global Positioning System

Stephen R. DeLoach

Abstract:	Engineering surveys are often performed dynamically, from a moving platform. Examples include hydrographic surveys supporting dredging operations, aerial photogrammetric surveys, seismic and geophysical exploration. This work is often the basis for further contracts or in-house construction efforts. In support of this nation's $400 million annual maintenance dredging program the U.S. Army Engineer Topographic Laboratories have been tasked to develop a real-time, three-dimensional, decimeter-level positioning system. This paper will discuss USAETL's research and development efforts to build a prototype system and will present concepts of productive uses throughout various user communities.
