Abstract

The paper presents an approach to provide a precise adverse weather Global Positioning System aided relative targeting system for GPS/INS munitions. The paper discusses the exploitation of GPS integrated with an inertial navigation system, and ultra-high resolution synthetic aperture ground mapping capability, and height above target measurement techniques to provide GPS/SAR equipped combat aircraft with a precise adverse weather target strike capability
