ABSTRACT:
A position estimator for determining the position and velocity of a moving platform in cooperation with radio navigation aids is described incorporating an unbiased estimator, such as a least means square estimator, a biased estimator for determining the angle of inner section of the lines of position from the radio naviation aids for determining the liklihood of geometric dilution of precision (GDOP) and a switch for selecting the estimate of position and velocity from said biased estimator at first times and the unbiased estimator at second times. The invention overcomes the problem of accuracy degredation associated with a nearly collinear measurement geometry which causes the variance of the position estimates to be higly inflated.
