Design of an Optimally Integrated Primary Land Arctic Navigation System. (Plas). Volume 1. System Design
This land navigation system is designed around a dual mode gyrocompass/directional gyro, and the vehicle's odometer, with occasional Transit position fixes. A baroaltimeter is used to provide height above ellipsoid needed by the Transit receiver, and a coarse digital elevation map is used to bo...
