Purpose The purpose of this paper is to achieve accurate integrated navigation results for the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) systems even in the presence of possible navigation faults in the subsystems of the federated Kalman filter. Design/methodology/approach The federated Kalman filter is modified from two aspects to get accurate navigation results under abnormity. First, time-variant vector distribution coefficients trading off the navigation accuracy and the observability degree of each state component are computed to replace the traditional scalar coefficients. Second, a fault-tolerant filter is proposed as the local navigation filter. Findings Simulations for the navigation of a UAV system show that the proposed method can be applied for accurate navigation purpose even in the presence of subsystem navigation faults. Originality/value New fault-tolerant federated Kalman filters for integrated navigation are presented to achieve accurate navigation solutions.

Aiming at the problem that the accuracy and stability of SINS/BDS integrated navigation system decrease due to uncertain model and observation anomalies, a SINS/BDS integrated navigation method based on classified weighted adaptive filtering is proposed. Firstly, the innovation covariance matching technology is used to detect whether there is any abnormality in the system as a whole. Then the types of anomalies are distinguished by hypothesis test. Different types of anomalies have different effects on state estimation. Based on the dynamic changes of innovation, different adaptive weighting methods are adopted to correct navigation information. The simulation results show that this method can effectively improve the fault-tolerant performance of integrated navigation system in complex environment with unknown anomaly types. When both model anomalies and observation anomalies exist, the speed and position accuracy are increased by 42% and 24% compared with the standard KF, 38% and 22% compared with the innovation orthogonal adaptive filtering, which has higher navigation accuracy.

The Kalman filter (KF), which recursively generates a relatively optimal estimate of underlying system state based upon a series of observed measurements, has been widely used in integrated navigation system. Due to its dependence on the accuracy of system model and reliability of observation data, the precision of KF will degrade or even diverge, when using inaccurate model or trustless data set. In this paper, a fault-tolerant adaptive Kalman filter (FTAKF) algorithm for the integrated navigation system composed of a strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), a Doppler velocity log (DVL), and a magnetic compass (MCP) is proposed. The evolutionary artificial neural networks (EANN) are used in self-learning and training of the intelligent data fusion algorithm. The proposed algorithm can significantly outperform the traditional KF in providing estimation continuously with higher accuracy and smoothing the KF outputs when observation data are inaccurate or unavailable for a short period. The experiments of the prototype verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Considering the conventional federated filtering-based fault-tolerant integrated navigation system is difficult to be implemented by serial data processing circuits, this paper presents navigation switching strategy-based SINS/GPS/ADS/DVL fault-tolerant integrated navigation system to guarantee the reliability of integrated navigation system under sensor faults. When sensor failure appears, SINS and fault-free sensors are selected successively to form an integrated navigation system, such that reliable navigation parameters can be obtained. The simulation tests are implemented to verify that the SINS/GPS/ADS/DVL integrated navigation system can provide reliable navigation parameters when ADS and DVL are disabled.
