Abstract
Positioning apparatus for use in a moving vehicle includes circuitry arranged to process signals received from GPS satellites, and to provide signals in response thereto from which the position of the apparatus can be calculated at a remote station. The apparatus provides, for each satellite in view, carrier frequency estimation signals, samples of the carrier signals and code tracking signals to a data transmission device, which modulates the signals onto a carrier prior to transmission to the remote station. A carrier loop reconstruction device and a location processor in the remote station co-operate to determine the location of the positioning apparatus. A memory device may record signals received over a period of time, from which mission replay may be performed.
