Abstract :
This paper applies Bancroft´s algorithm, which was developed for GPS, to the solution of aircraft multilateration surveillance equations. Results developed are equally applicable to two-dimensional hyperbolic surveillance and navigation. Bancroft´s algorithm provides a closed-form position solution with a time tag
