Apollo 11 + Kalman filter = Particle filter for epidemic modeling ?

[Paul Dale]

We were using Kalman filters for vehicle guidance back when I was doing GPS related stuff. The really clever part is the difference between the prediction and the measured outcome can be used to adapt the model on the fly. This means that the filter actually learns what its parameter values are.

We used this to refine GPS placement and orientation on the vehicle as it went about it usual work.
