Applying kinematic GPS techniques at our nation's airports

摘要

The National Geodetic Survey (NGS) began surveying US airports using a mixture of static, kinematic, antenna swap, and pseudokinematic techniques. The methodologies and the associated theoretical rationale are described. The NGS performed an online operational test of GPS (Global Positioning System) kinematic surveying at several Florida airports, and it was found to be a complete success. All successful processing variations in the Apalachicola example agreed at the 1-cm level.
