Navigation Using LINK-16 GPS/INS Integration

A. Brown, P. Sack

Abstract:	The LINK-16 standard for military anti-jam digital communications provides Anti-Jam (AJ) communications using Frequency Hop and Pseudo Noise (PN) spreading techniques. As a result, there are accurate time-of-arrival (TOA) measurements between the transmitting terminals. This paper describes the design and development of an integrated navigation filter that is capable of exploiting LINK-16 TOA measurements, along with GPS/IMU measurements, to provide robust navigation in GPS-denied conditions. Results are presented that show the advantage that a LINK-16 aided navigation system has over standard GPS/INS navigation in a hostile GPS environment.
