ABSTRACT:
A system for determining the position of a device attached to a floating platform floating at the surface of a body of water. The system includes first and second navigation antennas mounted on the platform. A device is mounted to the platform in a position collinear with the positions of the two antennas. The position of the device can be computed from the ranges of the two antennas relative to the base station, the known distance between the two antennas, and the known distance from one of the antennas to the device. In a typical deployment, the device is an underwater device.
