Abstract

This paper proposes an airborne transceiver system as an alternative navigation system and a triangulation method using bidirectional range measurements as a method of transceiver position determination. We suggest several system arrays that can estimate each mobile transceiver position in real time. We found that our suggested alternative navigation system working in a 700 km×900 km region is feasible using only 10 transceivers at an altitude of 42 km, furthermore its performance can compete with that of Galileo's Open Service. This paper will contribute to the establishment of an alternative or backup navigation system with modest expenditure and a short development period, and which is independent of GPS.
