The particular technique discussed involves the continuous rotation of gyros and accelerometers cluster about the vertical axis of the vehicle. Then the errors of these sensors will have periodic variation corresponding to components along the body frame. Under this condition, the modulated sensor errors produce reduced system errors. Theoretical analysis based on a new coordinate system defined as sensing frame and test results are presented, and they indicate the method attenuates the navigation errors brought by the gyros' random constant drift and the accelerometer's bias and their white noise compared to the conventional method.展开更多

It can be applied not only to large system decentralization, but also to precision realization at approximately the same level of the global filter, thus, making possible the engineering operation as well as shortening the computing time. This paper discusses the principles and features of SODKF when used in GPS/INS integrated navigation system. The system will be firstly divided into three subsystems and then corrected in both open and closed loops. The system simulation results by two integrated patterns show that SODKF is efficient and realizable. While the three subsystems are simulated in series, the computing speed doubles that of the global system. In addition, its optimal estimating precision remains unchanged. It can be concluded from this paper that large integrated navigation systems with GPS, INS, Terrain Match, Loran C, Doppler Radar and Radio Altimeter can be made more efficient by this multi subsystem of navigation.展开更多
