Abstract
An expression is derived for the posterior error probability in the Mu-II Sequential Ranging System. An algorithm is developed which closely bounds the exact answer and can be implemented in the machine software. A computer simulation is provided to illustrate the improved level of confidence in a ranging acquisition using this figure of merit as compared to that using only the prior probabilities. In a simulation of 20,000 acquisitions, with an experimentally determined threshold setting, the algorithm detected 90 percent of the actual errors and made false indications of errors on 0.2 percent of the acquisitions.
