Multilateration Software Development (Phase 2)

Abstract : Historically, vehicle-borne, radio-hybrid navigation system software has too often been designed around preselected navigation hardware on an ad hoc, system-by-system basis. In these developments, little attention has been paid to the inherent physical and functional commonality which underlies much of this superficially quite different software. This report documents the methods, and the very promising results, of the second phase of a software development effort directed at identifying and specifying a standardized, modular, flexible, radio- hybrid navigation system software processor.
