PNT SENSOR RELAY COMMUNICATION SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A PNT sensor short-range relay communication system comprising:
- an electronic PNT sensor module configured to determine a first position of the PNT sensor module and to output a PNT signal indicating a second position of the PNT sensor module with respect to the first position; and
a mobile relay module in signal communication with the PNT sensor module, the mobile relay module configured to communicate the PNT signal to at least one terminal device located remotely from the PNT sensor module and the mobile relay module.

Abstract
A PNT sensor short-range relay communication system includes an electronic PNT sensor module configured to determine a first position of the PNT sensor module and to output a PNT signal indicating a second position of the PNT sensor module with respect to the first position. A mobile relay module is in signal communication with the PNT sensor module. The mobile relay module is configured to communicate the PNT signal to at least one terminal device located remotely from the PNT sensor module and the mobile relay module. In this manner, positional information can be determined without relying on a satellite navigation system.

15. A method of determining a position of an object without using a satellite navigation system, the method comprising:
-
measuring a plurality of different quantities of the object using a PNT module coupled thereto in response to moving the object from a first position to a second position, and transmitting the measured quantities to a mobile relay module located remotely from the PNT sensor module at a first communication range, and relaying the measured quantities from the mobile relay module to at least one terminal device located remotely from the mobile relay module at a second communication range that is greater than the first communication range, the at least one terminal device configured to determine a location of the second position based on the measured quantities without communicating with the satellite navigation system. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
