  • System for multiple navigation components
    Patent number: 8224574
    Abstract: An exemplary navigation system uses a master navigation component at a first location in a vehicle and a slave navigation component at a second location that is a variable displacement to the first location due to physical deformation of the vehicle. Static and dynamic location components provide static and dynamic information of the displacement between the first and second locations. An error estimator estimates errors in the navigational measurement data generated by the slave navigation component based on the navigational measurement data generated by the master navigation component and the displacement information provided by the static and dynamic location components. The master navigation component corrects the navigation measurement data of the slave navigation component based on the determined error and translates the corrected navigation measurement data of the slave navigation component into navigational measurement data in its coordinate system.

  • System for interferometric sensing
    Patent number: 7406379
    Abstract: An exemplary navigation system uses a master navigation component at a first location with a first sensor in a vehicle and a slave navigation component with a second sensor at a second location that is a variable displacement to the first location due to physical deformation of the vehicle. Static and dynamic location components provide static and dynamic information of the displacement between the first and second locations. A flexural model based on the deformation characteristics calculates the dynamic displacement. An error estimator estimates errors in the navigation measurement data of the slave navigation component based on the displacement information.

  • Enhanced motion compensation technique in synthetic aperture radar systems
    Patent number: 6037893
    Abstract: Compensating for motion of the host vehicle in a synthetic aperture radar system includes collecting inertial data with an inertial navigation system during an imaging period in which a synthetic aperture radar pulse is directed to a target. During the imaging period global positioning system corrections to the inertial data are collected. A smooth representation of the global positioning system corrections is formed and then the smooth representation of the global positioning system corrections is applied to the inertial data after completion of the imaging period.
