In this study, the recursive least-square processing algorithm, which can reduce processing time, is applied to passive-position location. The performance of four different estimation schemes are also analyzed and evaluated, namely, nonlinear least-square batch processing, nonlinear least-square recursive processing, extended Kalman filter, and iterated extended Kalman filter. A hybrid position algorithm for passive-position location is thereby developed. Numerical results indicate that the new algorithm indeed increases the accuracy of local positioning. Locating error distance in passive target positions for various initial positions of aircraft is also analyzed.
