Determination of Flying Objects Position

Abstract

This paper describes various methods of flying object positioning with the emphasis on their accuracy. Based on the accomplished analysis, we will select the most appropriate method to determine the position of a flying object for relative navigation purposes. The primary criterion for choosing a positioning method is the accuracy of distance measurement within users working in the aviation communications network. The results presented in the paper have been based on mathematical modelling and computer simulation performed in the Matlab programming environment. The results obtained can be used to navigate flying or non-flying objects that work in the air communications network.
