Using a Timescale Ensemble on Moving Platforms

We show through simulation new issues that appear when creating an ensemble of clocks across moving platforms. Much work has been done on the development of timescale algorithms to create ensembles in various circumstances. Most of this work involves stationary clocks. There is some work involving creating an ensemble across satellites. In particular, we address the need for and method of computing relativistic effects. We also show how measurement latency affects the ensemble, as well as the effects of errors in differential positions and velocities.
