Abstract

This paper presents the design and analysis of integrating global positioning system (GPS), inertial navigation system (INS), and synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The intent of this research is to predict the performance of the proposed targeting system. The analysis presented here is based on a well-tuned, full-order extended Kalman filter. The targeting aspects of the integrated INS, GPS, and SAR are investigated for both “relative” and “absolute“ targeting. The simulation results indicate a theoretical possibility of obtaining absolute target position with a CEP of 10 ft
