&lt;ul>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Consistency-gated framework&lt;/strong>: A cooperative localization scheme that actively prevents harmful cooperative updates when inter-agent measurements are inconsistent under intermittent GPS.&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Two-stage estimation&lt;/strong>: Decoupled architecture separating local observability recovery (EKF with GPS/IMU) from cooperative refinement (distributed ADMM over UWB range and AoA constraints).&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Lightweight acceptance gate&lt;/strong>: A learning-based gate driven solely by runtime residual and consensus indicators — no ground truth required online.&lt;/li>
&lt;li>&lt;strong>Quantitative gains&lt;/strong>: Demonstrated moderate improvements in absolute accuracy and substantial gains in formation-relevant relative accuracy over GPS/IMU baselines.&lt;/li>
