Accuracy and Tactical Implications of Bearings-Only Ranging Algorithms
Operations Research · 1985 · Volume 33 · Issue 1
Abstract
Passive (bearings-only) ranging uses only directional information to deduce the distance to a moving target. This paper derives an estimate for the accuracy of a least squares passive ranging algorithm. The formula can be used to compare the effectiveness of various tactics.
