Abstract:

The report contains a two-part discussion, the first being a review of previously established results in a general treatment of position finding, the object of which is to establish comprehensive procedures applicable to all of the Navys position finding problems. This review illustrates how such problems are influenced by quantities that appear as parameters in the formulation of the problem. The second part extends the treatment to the case where knowledge of these quantities is uncertain. Author
