Multi station TDOA location method based on improved artificial bee colony algorithm

In modern battlefield, passive location technology based on multi-station TDOA of UAV platforms has important application value, but the traditional Newton iteration algorithm requires higher initial value of iteration, and the positioning accuracy needs to be improved. We have found a new algorithm in our research, which is based on ABC algorithm, and is also a method used in UAV positioning system. Comparing with the traditional algorithm, simulation results of this algorithm indicate that it can remarkably improve the precision of TDOA passive location.
