Abstract
Navigation filters/estimators are coupled with coordinated multi-agent batch navigation to facilitate 'Synthetic Aperture' capabilities for improved GPS-denied or degraded navigation. The modified single-agent navigation filter continues to estimate platform (Airborne, water based and/or land based autonomous vehicles) position, velocity, and attitude in a global reference frame in the standard way, but now simultaneously outputs “delta-poses” (effectively a low rate odometry) with accurate covariances. The delta-poses are then used in complementary multi-platform navigation algorithms which provides accurate relative pose between cooperating platforms. The relative position knowledge allows the modified global filter to ingest the other platforms navigation-aiding measurements directly.
