Abstract

Two data reduction computer programs at the Atlantic Missile Range are used for the determination of space resection and the associated geodetic transformation. One of these computer programs is called FLAR, for Photogrammetric Flare Tri-angulation, and performs a multiple point in space resection. The other is called BCSR, for Ballistic Camera Space Resection, and performs a single point in space resection. This paper discusses the operation of these two computer programs, together with their capabilities and limitations. Future improvements and techniques are mentioned.
