USAF MQ-9 pilots at Creech AFB experience flight degradation in GPS-denied environments. Degradation of flight controls manifest in extended lag, jitter, motion delay, and a loss of position in the sky. This degradation affects missions sets, and means disabling the ability to collection accurate Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance data, as well not being able to appropriately kinetic-LASE correct targets. We leverage existing MQ-9 Inertial Navigation System (INS) data, or Precise Position Location Information (PPLI), and share that data to existing C4ISR assets. With connectivity to existing C4ISR assets, we can create INS triangulation through Kalman filters systems. INS triangulation can restore flight controls in GPS-denied environments to continue operations. When GPS is restored, INS triangulation system can take a backseat and assist GPS-positive flight. Early versions of this system was use on F-14s over LINK16, as pre-established precedent. We propose INS triangulation over JREAP-c BLOS VHF/UHF SATCOM. Existing ground control stations, Joint Operations Centers, and even front-line warfighters can share C4ISR INS data and help establish Precise Positions through the LITOCORP-TUFKIT platform.
