Abstract. For an autonomous stationary measuring system that records the normalized radiation power (mainly a direct beam) of a moving source (target), an alternative method has been developed to solve the ranging problem, taking into account the available a priori information. In this case, the model of changing the range is taken as a generalized polynomial with unknown coefficients, and one selective value of the distance to the target is used as a priori information (for example, for the initial or final moment of time from a given observation interval). The issues of quasi-optimal parametric identification of this model, the analysis of the accuracy of the generated range estimates, as well as the possibility of using these estimates in the multi-station systems of passive location and navigation are discussed. An illustrative example is given showing the effect of random errors in power measurements and a priori data on the accuracy characteristics of the method.

Key words: moving radiation source, generalized polynomial model, normalized model, normalized power measurements, autonomous stationary measuring system, a priori information, least squares method, quasi-optimal range estimate, correlation estimation error matrix.
