Abstract
A distributed navigation system includes navigation platforms, each having a universal navigation processor, relative navigation systems to provide source information to the navigation platforms, navigation filters provided on one or more of the universal navigation processors, and an anchor navigation node disposed on one or more of the navigation platforms to form one or more anchor navigation platforms. Each anchor navigation node includes an inertial navigation system, a clock, and absolute navigation systems, which are used, in combination with source information, to determine navigation information. The anchor navigation platforms provide the navigation information to other navigation platforms. The system further includes a navigation processor system in communication with the universal navigation processors to provide operating information updates to the universal navigation processors and a graphical user interface to display the navigation information to a user and permit the user to review and control the navigation information.
