The use of the Global Positioning System for time space position information on the ranges
Abstract
The Global Positioning System (GPS), a precision navigation system ideally suited for target position determination, is briefly discussed. The method of operation and navigation technique are briefly described, and five range tracking techniques being considered for GPS application are summarized. The potential for GPS to replace the present pulse radar tracking systems is addressed.
