  • Navigation system and method
    Patent number: 9689963
    Abstract: A navigation system and associate methods are described that include a plurality of fixed terrestrial based reference devices that calibrate the system by tracking positional error between the fixed terrestrial based reference devices. A navigation system and associated methods are also described that include a laser positioning system. A navigation system and associated methods are described that include an RF positioning system. In one example, the laser positioning system, and the RF positioning system cross check one another to ensure reliability and accuracy of a position measurement.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 18, 2015
    Date of Patent: June 27, 2017
    Assignee: Autonomous Tractor Corporation
    Inventors: Terry Anderson, Robert S. Cornelius, Frank Artner
