A system for operating a GPS receiver in a GPS-adverse environment
includes a plurality of GPS receivers, a plurality of remote sensor
interfaces (RSIs), and a computer management system. The GPS receivers
are adapted to determine positional parameters based on the GPS satellite
signals. A first set of GPS receivers is able to accurately determine its
positional parameters and a second set of GPS receivers is unable to do
so. Each RSI is associated with a respective GPS receiver. The RSIs are
communication nodes in an ad hoc wireless network. The computer
management system identifies a GPS receiver that is not accurately
determining its positional parameters, and in response, causes GPS
information to be provided from one of the first set of GPS receivers to
the identified GPS receiver. The identified GPS receiver then determines
its positional parameters accurately using the provided GPS information.
