Case Study: Epoch-by-Epoch™ Test Verification at Holloman AFB

Geodetics conducted tests of its Epoch-by-Epoch™ technology at the calibrated sled at Holloman AFB. Epoch-by-Epoch™ results were compared to the truth provided by the calibrated sled. The primary goals for the tests were to verify

  • Instantaneous Positioning
  • Precision
  • Reliability
  1. Instantaneous Results: Initialization and re-initialization demonstrated by analyzing data interleaved with artificial data gaps of lengths varying from 5 to 30 seconds and by a real-time demonstration in the field.
  2. Precision Results: Single-epoch precision was 2mm horizontal and 5mm vertical (one sigma), based on static portion of the test
  3. Reliability Results: 99.9959% for this test. Only 6 significant outliers out of 146,222 Epoch-by-Epoch™ solutions.
  4. Trajectory Accuracy Results: Over 7 hour test, the sled trajectory accuracy was about 1 cm in position and 2 cm/s in velocity with respect to the base station.
