An important part of a navigation system for a moving platform is the estimation of the rate of travel. This document presents a method for estimating the platform velocity in 3-dimensions using multiple antenna subarrays which could be used to augment navigation in a GPS-degraded environment. An advantage of this technique is that it does not require any knowledge of a positions of any landmarks. Results from radar data collected by the Sandia National Laboratories demonstration radar system are presented to illustrate the promise of this technique.
