Applicability of APT aided-inertial system to crustal movement monitoringThe APT system, its stage of development, hardware, and operations are described. The algorithms required to perform the real-time functions of navigation and profiling are presented. The results of computer simulations demonstrate the feasibility of APT for its primary mission: topographic mapping with an accuracy of 15 cm in the vertical. Also discussed is the suitability of modifying APT for the purpose of making vertical crustal movement measurements accurate to 2 cm in the vertical, and at least marginal feasibility is indicated.
