Abstract
The two main purposes of this paper are looking for a navigation plan for formations with total autonomy, good accuracy and least requirements; and examining the aspects of a formation configuration that affect the performance of absolute and relative navigation methods.12 The newly developed X-ray pulsar navigation (XNAV) is employed, and two XNAV modes are introduced: standard XNAV is used for its good autonomy and observability, and relative XNAV is used to examine the effectiveness of relative navigation methods in the navigation of formations. Also crosslink measurement is employed for its great accuracy and low requirement.
