Researching of the low-precision SINS research for an unmanned vehicle

A small-sized inertial navigation system (SINS) Gyrolab GL VG 109 is researched. It is shown that this system has low accuracy; therefore it cannot be used to determine the parameters of an unmanned vehicle in an autonomous mode. Correction of the system from the satellite navigation system significantly increases the accuracy of determining the parameters of an unmanned vehicle, but only under conditions of stable signals from the satellite navigation system (SNS). The algorithmic support for the correction facility of the navigation system based on the scalar adaptive estimation algorithm and identification procedure is formed. The use of algorithmic correction of SINS from SNS using an estimation algorithm allows achieving an accuracy that corresponds to systems of the third accuracy class. Keywords inertial navigation system without platform; unmanned vehicle; correction; satellite navigation system; scalar estimation algorithm; scalar identification; analysis of accuracy

In this paper an adaptive unscented Kalman filter based mixing filter is used to develop a high-precision kinematic satellite aided inertial navigation system with a modern receiver that incorporates carrier phase smoothing and ambiguity resolution. Using carrier phase measurements with multiple antennas, in addition to a set of typical pseudo-range estimates that can be obtained from a satellite navigation system such as GPS or GLONASS, the feasibility of generating high precision estimates of the typical outputs from an inertial navigation system is demonstrated. The methodology may be developed as a stand-alone system or employed in conjunction with a traditional strapped down inertial navigation system for purposes of initial alignment. Moreover the feasibility of employing adaptive mixing facilitates the possibility of using the system in an interoperable fashion with satellite navigation measurements.

To improve the reliability and accuracy of navigation solution, the integration of the satellite navigation receiver with the inertial navigation system is used. These systems have complementary characteristics. An important part of the combined systems is the integration algorithm, which largely determines the final characteristics. The synthesis of such an algorithm for velocity, attitude and the errors of the inertial measuring unit estimation has been carried out. The algorithm is implemented in the software of the prototype of the inertial-satellite navigation system. The results of the experimental evaluation of algorithm’s characteristics for automotive dynamics are shown.

The paper presents issues concerning the estimation of the angle of attack and the angle of sideslip on a flying object board. Angle of attack and sideslip estimation methods which are based on measurements of linear velocity components of an object with the Earth’s coordinates and on attitude angles of the object are presented. Both of these measurements originate from the inertial navigation system, and velocity measurement is obtained from the satellite navigation system. The idea of applying inertial and satellite navigation for the estimation of attack and sideslip angles is presented. Practical comparison of these estimation methods has been conducted based on logged parameters of a flight onboard a Mewa aircraft. Development proposals for these methods are presented as well.

Currently, navigation equipment for long-range aircraft, where the flight is characterized by a long duration and the absence of frequent and abrupt maneuvers, continues to be actively improved. Therefore, the main purpose of the work is to analyze the compensation of the error in determining the angle in the flight-navigation complex of the aircraft in case of failure of the satellite navigation system. In order to achieve the goal, inertial navigation methods using an attitude and heading reference system were used. It was determined that when comparing the evolution graphs of the heading and errors in determining the eastern component of the ground speed, it is possible to establish the dependence that at the moments of maneuvers associated with a significant change in the direction of this speed, the phase and amplitude of the error fluctuations are also changed. It was established that today the operational technology is equipped with blocks of an inertial navigation system. It helps to improve the accuracy of the definition of navigation information.

In mid-1974 a test was made in the Gulf of Mexico of a LaCoste and Romberg inertial system for the measurement of the Eötvös correction for shipboard gravity meters. Since the system is designed for operation with satellite navigation, inertial velocities were updated at 2- to 3-hour intervals, using Lorac information because no satellite information was available. Two types of comparison were made between the inertial and Lorac data. One comparison was the rms difference between results from the two methods—0.46 knot, which corresponds to 3.0 mgal at a latitude of 30 degrees. The other comparison related to noise which could be mistaken for anomalies of interest in oil exploration. The comparison indicated that such noise in the inertial data was only about one third that in the Lorac data.

This article treats integration of navigation data from a variety of sensors in a submarine using extended Kalman filtering in order to improve the accuracy of position, velocity and heading estimates. The problem has been restricted to planar motion. The measurement system consists of an inertial navigation system, a gyro compass, a passive log, an active log and a satellite navigation system. These subsystems are briefly described and models for the measurement errors are given.Four different extended Kalman filters have been tested by computer simulations. The simulations distinctly show that the passive subsystems alone are insufficient to improve the estimate of the position obtained from the inertial navigation system. A log measuring the velocity relative to the ground or a position determining system are needed. The improvement depends on the accuracy of the measuring instruments, the extent of time the instrument can be used and which filter is being used. The most complex filter, which contains fourteen states, eight to describe the motion of the submarine and six to describe the measurement system, including a model of the inertial navigation system, works very well.
