Executive summary
The Technology As space operations grow in both the number of systems deployed and the distances at which those systems operate, reliance on overloaded Earth-based navigation support has increasingly become a liability to mission performance. The Multi-Craft Autonomous Positioning System (MAPS) is a network-based, satellite-to-satellite navigation protocol designed to improve the autonomy of deep space assets, but is applicable to a variety of transport vehicles, aircraft, and other equipment here on Earth. An asset with MAPS is that it operates by embedding specific state information into its data packet transmission headers. Other assets then use this information combined with transmission and reception times to determine their own position fixes autonomously. Additionally, assets within the network act as relays, passing along information to recipients that would not otherwise be ...
