DSTG Bayesian flight-path analysis
Defence Science and Technology Group, Australia
A probabilistic reconstruction of MH370’s path from SATCOM metadata. Output is a distribution along the 7th arc, not a pin in the map.
BTO range rings and BFO Doppler residuals
Inmarsat / Ashton et al. · Journal of Navigation
Burst Timing Offset describes distance from the satellite (an arc on the Earth). Burst Frequency Offset encodes relative motion and is why official analysis went south, not north.
CSIRO debris-drift studies
Griffin, Oke, et al. · 2016–2017
Oceanographic reverse-drift of the Réunion flaperon and other debris, used to weight 7th-arc latitudes. Field trials on a replica flaperon informed windage.
The Search for MH370 — Journal of Navigation
Ashton, Dickinson, Hall, Roberts, Smith · Inmarsat · 2014/15
The paper that showed how BTO and BFO from routine signalling units can reconstruct a long flight the airline did not know it still had.
DSTG
Defence Science and Technology Group · Bayesian path analysis
Produced the posterior along the 7th arc used to site the official underwater box.
