  • Abstract
    This paper describes a concept for a system that provides the capability for accurate targeting and weapon delivery within a prescribed geographic context. This system, entitled submeter navigation grid, defines a geographic region that enables targeting platforms to perform relative navigation to the centimetre level. Ultimately, targeting information is delivered to an appropriate tactical platform, and the system enables precision guidance of this platform to the identified target coordinates. The submeter navigation grid consists of both airborne and land based components with communications links between them. Of note is that the submeter navigation grid utilizes a pseudo-lite as an electronic counter-counter measure against a potential jamming threat
