ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a self-surveying relative GPS (Global Positioning System) weapon guidance system (10). This guidance system (10) includes multiple GPS satellites (12-18) which transmit GPS data to a ground sensor (20). The ground sensor (20) includes a GPS receiver (24), a self-surveying computer (28), a data formatter (30) and a transmitter (32). The GPS receiver (24) receives the GPS data and determines a second location of the ground sensor (20) based on the GPS data. The self-surveying computer (28) determines a first location of the ground sensor (20) based on the GPS data gathered over time, which is more accurate than the second location. The data formatter (30) determines a GPS error between the first and second locations which is transmitted by the transmitter (32). The GPS error is used by guided weapons in the vicinity of the ground sensor (20) to substantially increase the delivery accuracy of the guided weapons (40).
