  • Abstract
    Two basic concepts of rate aided tracking and position aided tracking are applied to a conventional pointing system in order to improve performance. The aided track signals are derived in an inertial space format and are generated from a Kalman filter algorithm. Computational results are included to show the interplay between the conventional pointing system and the aided track filter.
