Precision Multiple Vehicle Navigation System
First Claim
1. A navigation system comprising:
- a first inertial measurement unit enabled global positioning system device having a first inertial measurement unit with a first level of accuracy in a first vehicle, wherein the first inertial measurement unit enabled global positioning system device is configured to provide first information that identifies a position of the first vehicle relative to a second vehicle;
a second inertial measurement unit enabled global positioning system device in the first vehicle having a second inertial measurement unit with a second level of accuracy that is greater than the first level of accuracy, wherein the second inertial measurement unit enabled global positioning system device is configured to provide second information that identifies the position of the first vehicle relative to the second vehicle; and
a controller configured to perform an action based on a desired level of accuracy of the first information.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing movement. A navigation system comprises a first inertial measurement unit enabled global positioning system device having a first inertial measurement unit with a first level of accuracy in a first vehicle and is configured to provide first information that identifies a position of the first vehicle relative to a second vehicle. The navigation system further comprises a second inertial measurement unit enabled global positioning system device in the first vehicle having a second inertial measurement unit with a second level of accuracy that is greater than the first level of accuracy and is configured to provide second information that identifies the position of the first vehicle relative to the second vehicle. The navigation system further comprises a controller that is configured to perform an action based on a desired level of accuracy of the first information.
