Abstract
A method for increasing the accuracy of ranging measurements between data link systems is described. The method, actively aided ranging, increases ranging measurement accuracy by decreasing the dependence of the measurement on the relative clock bias between data links. The method is immune from error due to time bias between a position interrogator and a responder.
