Abstract
A vehicle location accuracy enhancement system is provided. A digital active phased array radar is configured to generate a profiled terrain including terrain altitude information. A controller is configured to implement operating instructions in memory to conduct profile matching between the generated profiled terrain from the at least one digital active phased array radar and terrain altitude profile information in a terrain database to determine profiled location solutions. The controller is further configured to at least augment sensor location solutions from at least one other location determining system, including a GNSS, with the profiled location solutions to enhance accuracy of the sensor location solutions. The controller is also configured to determine location errors in the GNSS based on the profiled location solution and to broadcast the determined location errors.
