Problem statement. High-precision coordinate determination is a crucial factor in monitoring the electronic environment and the ability to issue target designations to executive systems. In this regard, the estimation of the error of the data obtained will determine the success of the operations performed.

Goal. Development of a mathematical model for estimating the error in determining the coordinates of terrestrial radio sources using the basic correlation method.

Results. Mathematical modeling was carried out and a quantitative estimate of the error in determining coordinates under various input conditions was obtained. The influence of the input parameters of the coordinate determination function on the final error values is shown. The specific minimum distance between the posts and the required number of measurements have been determined to achieve the specified error.

Practical significance. The results of the study make it possible to reasonably choose the configuration of the complex and determine the required number of measurements to achieve a given accuracy of determination.
