Differential range validation: A new technique for near-real-time validation of multistation ranging system data
Abstract
Near-real-time validation of ranging system data is currently restricted to multiple range acquisitions during single passes (Pseudo-DRVID). A technique (Differential Range Validation) which utilizes predicted range and doppler pseudo-residuals to validate two-station, contiguous-pass range acquisitions down to the 10-meter level is described.
