Satellite Mapping With ANNA System Proposed
The ANNA project may let ground stations determine interstation distances more precisely by photograghing stars as a backdrop. Conventional mapping places positions on different continents within about 500 feet, while some island measurements exceed a mile. An AMA satellite system could reduce worldwide errors to under 40 feet, aiding target distance pinpointing, prompting the Defense Department to classify parts of ANNA information.
