Observations in Improved Geolocation Accuracy Based on Signal-Dependent and Non-Signal Dependent Errors

This paper examines the effects of signal-dependent versus non-signal-dependent errors on the geolocation accuracy that a state-of-the-art system based on Commercial-off-the-Shelf (COTS) equipment can potentially achieve. The results provide a focus for research in improvements of geolocation accuracy. The studies make use of a simulation tool developed by the Intelligence and Information Warfare Directorate (I2WD) at Fort Monmouth, NJ; supported by CACI Technologies, Inc., Eatontown, NJ; and the Research Associates of Syracuse (RAS), Syracuse, NY.
