A known linear landmark navigation system is described. It involves the use of an electro-optical sensor to provide sightings to linear earth features such as highways and coast lines. The sensor concept and the navigation system mechanization are described. Performance analysis results show that landmark sightings provide accurate navigation update and that this accuracy can be preserved using radar altimeter measurements. Description of a stellar inertial attitude determination system is also presented. Attitude reference performance consistent with the requirement of the navigation system is shown to be achievable by this method.
