US Patent 12066838 Systems and methods for obtaining location data

Obtaining location data in a novel way is considered to be a part of this invention. An exemplary method for doing so includes identifying first positioning information for a data delivery vehicle based at least in part on a plurality of positioning signals received at the data delivery vehicle from a set of satellites of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS). The example method comprises obtaining relative position information associated with a position vector from the data delivery vehicle to a remote vehicle, the remote vehicle being unable to receive the plurality of positioning signals from the set of satellites. The example method comprises determining second positioning information for the remote vehicle based at least in part on the first positioning information and the relative position information. The example method comprises transmitting the second positioning information to the remote vehicle.
