Abstract :
A ranging and positioning system for a ship or an aircraft using two geostationary satellites is described. This system has a ranging and positioning accuracy of 100 m and 1 km. Experiments to estimate this system were performed using a ship in the Pacific Ocean in a normal and a differential modes. This system leads to the development of fundamental ranging and positioning techniques for the cooperated independent surveillance
