This sensitivity analysis is intended to demonstrate, quantitatively, the effects of various error sources upon SS-HANS navigation accuracy. The error sources considered in this study fall into four basic categories, viz. those that pertain to the sensor itself; those that pertain to the initial conditions for each of the selected orbits; those that pertain to the position of the moon; and those that pertain to the dimensions of the moon. Navigation sensitivities to various levels of error (multiples and submultiples of the nominal error) for each of the four basic categories have been analyzed with respect to five high altitude orbits, considered to be typical of future Air Force missions.
