Position Errors

Inertial navigation systems exhibit position errors that tend to grow with time in an unbounded mode. This degradation is due, in part, to errors in the initialization of the inertial measurement unit and inertial sensor imperfections such as accelerometer biases and gyroscope drifts. Mitigation to this growth and bounding the errors is to update the inertial navigation system periodically with external position (and/or velocity, attitude) fixes. The synergistic effect is obtained through external measurements updating the inertial navigation system using Kalman filter algorithm. It is a natural requirement that the inertial data and data from the external aids be combined in an optimal and efficient manner. In this paper an efficient method for integration of Strapdown Inertia Navigation System (SINS), Global Positioning System (GPS) and Doppler radar is presented using a centralized linear Kalman filter by treating vector measurements with uncorrelated errors as scalars. Two main advantages have been obtained with this improved scheme. First is the reduced computation time as the number of arithmetic computation required for processing a vector as successive scalar measurements is significantly less than the corresponding number of operations for vector measurement processing. Second advantage is the improved numerical accuracy as avoiding matrix inversion in the implementation of covariance equations improves the robustness of the covariance computations against round off errors.

To avoid degradation of navigation performance in the navigation warfare environment, the multi-radio integrated navigation system can be used, in which all available radio navigation systems are integrated to back up Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) when the GNSS is not available. Before real-time multi-radio integrated navigation systems are deployed, time and cost can be saved when the modeling and simulation (M&S) software is used in the performance evaluation. When the multi-radio integrated navigation system M&S is comprised of independent function modules, it is easy to modify and/or to replace the function modules. In this paper, the M&S software design method was proposed for multi-radio integrated navigation systems as a GNSS backup under the navigation warfare. The M&S software in the proposed design method consists of a message broker and function modules. All the messages were transferred through the message broker in order to be exchanged between the function modules. The function modules in the M&S software were independently operated due to the message broker. A message broker-based M&S software was designed for a multi-radio integrated navigation system. In order to show the feasibility of the proposed design method, the M&S software was implemented for Global Positioning System (GPS), Korean Navigation Satellite System (KNSS), enhanced Long range navigation (eLoran), Loran-C, and Distance Measuring Equipment/Very high-frequency Omnidirectional Radio range (DME/VOR). The usefulness of the proposed design method was shown by checking the accuracy and availability of the GPS only navigation and the multi-radio integrated navigation system under the attack of jamming to GPS.

Filtering Approach

In underwater navigation, the conventional Error State Kalman Filter (ESKF) is used for combining navigation data where due to first order linearization of the nonlinear equations of the dynamics and measurements, considerable error is induced in estimated error state and covariance matrices. This paper presents an underwater integrated inertial navigation system using the unscented filter as an improved nonlinear version of the Kalman filter family. The designed system consists of a strap-down inertial navigation system accompanying Doppler velocity log and depth meter. In the proposed approach, to use the nonlinear capabilities of the unscented filtering approach the integrated navigation system is implemented in a direct approach where the nonlinear total state dynamic and and measurement models are utilised without any linearization. To our knowledge, no results have been reported in the literature on the experimental evaluation of the unscented-based integrated navigation system for underwater vehicles. The performance of the designed system is studied using real measurements. The results of the lake test show that the proposed system estimates the vehicle's position more accurately compared with the conventional ESKF structure.

Accurate navigation systems are required for future pinpoint Mars landing missions. A radio ranging augmented Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) integrated navigation system concept is considered for the Mars entry navigation. The uncertain system parameters associated with the Three Degree-Of-Freedom (3-DOF) dynamic model, and the measurement systematic errors are considered. In order to improve entry navigation accuracy, this paper presents the Multiple Model Adaptive Rank Estimation (MMARE) filter of radio beacons/IMU integrated navigation system. 3-DOF simulation results show that the performances of the proposed navigation filter method, 70·39 m estimated altitude error and 15·74 m/s estimated velocity error, fulfill the need of future pinpoint Mars landing missions.

Formal Safety Assessment

This paper was first presented at the NAV99/ILA28 Conference on ‘Loran-C, Satellite and Integrated Systems for the 21st Century’ held at Church House, Westminster, London from 1–3 November 1999.The introduction of modern navigation systems highlights the need for efficient tools to assess the possible impact of these systems on the safety levels currently associated with the operation of a ship. In recent years this has led to investigation of the advanced safety/risk assessment techniques already applied in other industrial sectors, with encouraging results. The scope of this paper is to show a quantified safety assessment methodology that can be applied while designing or retrofitting navigation systems. The methodology adopted is the result of the review of the IMO Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) technique and comprises the development of a functional analysis, a hazard identification analysis and a risk assessment. The paper provides details on a specific application of this model to an integrated navigation system. This application is included in the work performed under the ATOMOS II research project, partly funded by the DGVII Directorate of the European Commission within the 4th Framework Programme in the field of Maritime Transport.

Strapdown Inertial Navigation

Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems (SINS) displays position errors which grow with time in an unbounded manner. This degradation is due to the errors in the initialization of the inertial measurement unit, and inertial sensor imperfections such as accelerometer biases and gyroscope drifts. Improvement to this unbounded growth in errors can be made by updating the inertial navigation system solutions periodically with external position fixes, velocity fixes, attitude fixes or any combination of these fixes. The increased accuracy is obtained through external measurements updating inertial navigation system using Kalman filter algorithm. It is the basic requirement that the inertial data and data from the external aids be combined in an optimal and efficient manner. In this paper an efficient method for integration of Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS), Global Positioning System (GPS) is presented using a centralized linear Kalman filter.

Spectral Redshift

In order to achieve a highly autonomous and reliable navigation system for aerial vehicles that involves the spectral redshift navigation system (SRS), the inertial navigation (INS)/spectral redshift navigation (SRS)/celestial navigation (CNS) integrated system is designed and the spectral-redshift-based velocity measurement equation in the INS/SRS/CNS system is derived. Furthermore, a new chi-square test-based robust Kalman filter (CSTRKF) is also proposed in order to improve the robustness of the INS/SRS/CNS navigation system. In the CSTRKF, the chi-square test (CST) not only detects measurements with outliers and in non-Gaussian distributions, but also estimates the statistical characteristics of measurement noise. Finally, the results of our simulations indicate that the INS/SRS/CNS integrated navigation system with the CSTRKF possesses strong robustness and high reliability.

Federated Kalman Filter

In multi-sensor integrated navigation systems, when sub-systems are non-linear and with Gaussian noise, the federated Kalman filter commonly used generates large error or even failure when estimating the global fusion state. This paper, taking JIDS/SINS/GPS integrated navigation system as example, proposes a federated particle filter technology to solve problems above. This technology, combining the particle filter with the federated Kalman filter, can be applied to non-linear non-Gaussian integrated system. It is proved effective in information fusion algorithm by simulated application, where the navigation information gets well fused.
