Abstract

The paper presents a concrete algorithm elaborated to estimate object position in three-dimensional space using data obtained from netted monostatic radars with sensor position uncertainty. An influence of this uncertainty caused by navigation or geodetic errors of radar position determination on object position location accuracy has been examined for short and long range radar systems. Selected computational results have been presented and compared with results obtained under classical assumptions that sensor position determination errors do not exist
