The Global Positioning System (GPS) offers an absolute positioning accuracy of 15 to 100 metres. Inertial navigation complements GPS in that it provides relative positioning and is totally self-contained. These two positioning sensors are ideally suited for system integration for although there is not necessarily an improvement in accuracy, the integration of GPS with inertial navigation systems (INS) does enable an increase in system performance.

We examine two aspects specific to complex data fusion algorithms in integrated strapdown inertial navigation systems aided by global positioning systems, with their inherent spatial separation between the GNSS antenna phase center and the inertial measurement unit, as well as with the timing skew between their measurements. The first aspect refers to modifications of mathematical models used in INS/GNSS integration. The second one relates to our experience in their application in onboard airborne navigation algorithms developed by Moscow Institute of Electromechanics and Automatics.

Providing high accuracy of the coordinates and trajectories of objects by measurements conducted in navigation systems and complexes is an urgent task, which improves safety and efficiency of different modes of transport. However difficult environmental conditions, where vehicles are commonly used, stipulate influence of different factors on performance of onboard satellite navigation receivers, which are used as basic navigation devices for ground vehicle nowadays. Setting on cars used for common purposes additional navigation devices, which provide better performance, in most cases is economically unreasonable. Economically reasonable ways to improve onboard navigation complexes of vehicles, which are used for common purposes, are examined in this article. Functional diagram and principles of work of navigational complex, which uses the satellite navigation receiver and simplified variant of inertial navigation system is pointed as well. Also, the justification of methods for minimizing the error formats of coordinates and trajectories of moving objects based on information processing in multipositional, in particular satellite-inertial navigation systems and complexes, is presented. The obtained research results give an opportunity to develop an algorithm for coordinate refinement, which can be implemented in the improved on-board navigational complex of vehicle. KEY WORDS: NAVIGATION SYSTEMS AND COMPLEXES, INERTIAL SENSORS, NAVIGATION DEFINITIONS, ACCURACY AND RELIABILITY OF COORDINATES AND TRAJECTORIES OF MOVING OBJECTS, ELLIPS OF ERRORS, PROBABILISTIC-GEOMETRIC METHODS.
