METHOD FOR GEOLOCATING A FLEET OF COMMUNICATING OBJECTS WITHOUT A GPS-TYPE SYSTEM

摘要

A method for locating communicating objects that make up a fleet. An absolute frame of reference is defined in which the coordinates of the positions of the communicating objects are defined. At least three positions by the coordinates thereof in the absolute frame of reference are defined. The previously defined positions are associated with three communicating objects, referred to as reference objects. A reference object detects the other two reference objects and measures the distance to the two other reference objects. The distance from two reference objects to a fourth communicating object is measured. The geometric location of the distant points from a reference object to the object to be located is the orbit of the reference object. The fourth communicating object is located from at least two orbits previously established and at least one distance among the distances that separate the three reference objects.
