Use a helo with a Rad Alt hold and a heading hold - that's two less variables to deal with. Then it's up to pilot skill since the spread of the doppler beams from 1500 feet will be too large to give the required accuracy.
Inertial nav fed by RLGs perhaps? I don't think the GPS height is accurate enough for your given parameters.
