ABSTRACT:
A system for monitoring guiding and controlling an unmanned, unteathered flight vehicle, generally assumed to be moving through the atmosphere of the earth at a high rate of speed. The system comprised an on-board positional receiver and processing means coupled to a transceiver capable of combining such positional information with additional data relative to the health and status of the flight vehicle and transmitting the same to a ground station of compatible and simplified design. A preferred positional determination means is to utilize a form for GPS signal thereby affording one the opportunity to include appropriate processing software or additional componentry if necessary for base station purposes and thereby provide a relatively inexpensive system having a low probability of detection for intercept that simultaneously yields vastly improved operating performance characteristics over the mere translation of received GPS signals to down-link or to remote stations as known in the prior art. The system of the present invention may be utilized to provide auto-registration correction, range-only correction, or a combination of auto-registration and range correction.
