The integrated positioning system increases the visible number of single satellite navigation system and improve the DOP value of single satellite navigation system. In accordance with the construction plan, BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS) has started providing continuous passive positioning, navigation and timing service in the most parts of the Asia-Pacific In this paper, DOP value of GPS, BDS and the integrated navigation system are analyzed theoretically. The improvement of DOP value of GPS which resulted from present-running BDS navigation satellites is calculated by GPS/BDS observational data. The conclusions that GPS/BDS integrated navigation system will be able to improve the positioning accuracy and have useful references for the navigation and positioning application are also obtained.

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.


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.

A GPS/inertial navigation system design scheme is introduced. Combination of DSP and FPGA is used on the navigation board, and micro inertial navigation measuring element --ADIS16405 is used to sample required navigation data. DSP mainly implements navigation calculating based on navigation data, and realizes different navigation algorithms; FPGA in the system plays centeral control role, and not only samples IMU and GPS data, but also synchronize IMU and GPS in the real time, and preprocess and packet the navigation data. This paper also introduces the design of the software on FPGA. Practice proves that the scheme is feasible, and achieves the good balance between the cost, reliability and efficiency.

The paper presents a new method for improving the accuracy of an integrated navigation system in terms of coordinate and velocity when there is no signal received from the global navigation satellite system. We used artificial neural networks to simulate the error occurring in an integrated navigation system in the absence of the satellite navigation system signal. We propose a method for selecting the inputs for the artificial neural networks based on the mutual information (MI) criterion and lag-space estimation. The artificial neural network employed is a non-linear autoregressive neural network with external inputs. We estimated the efficiency of using our method to solve the problem of compensating for the error in an integrated navigation system in the absence of the satellite navigation system signal

This paper deals with the integrated navigation system based on fusion of data from Strap Down Inertial Navigation System (SDINS) and from Global Position System (GPS). In order to increase the accuracy and reliability of navigation algorithms, these two different systems are combined. The navigation system that be analyzed is basically of INS type while GPS corrective data are obtained less frequently and these are treated as noisy measurements in an extended Kalman filter scheme. The simulation of whole system (SDINS/GPS integrated system with Kalman filter) was modeled using MATLAB package, SIMULINK© tool. The proper choice of Kalman filter parameters had taken to minimize navigation errors for a typical medium range flight scenario (Simulated test trajectory and real trajectory of vehicle motion). A prototype of a SDINS installed on a moving platform in the laboratory to collected data by many experiments to verification our SIMULINK models.

As the inertial navigation system cannot meet the precision requirements of global navigation in the special geographical environment of the Polar Regions, this paper presents Strapdown Inertial Navigation System (SINS)/Celestial Navigation System (CNS) integrated navigation system of airborne based on Grid Reference Frame (GRF) and the simulation is carried out. The result of simulation shows that the SINS/CNS integrated navigation system is superior to the single subsystem in precision and performance, which not only effectively inhibits the error caused by gyro drift but also corrects the navigation parameters of system without delay. Comparing the simulation in the middle and low latitudes and in the Polar Regions, the precision of SINS/CNS integrated navigation system is the same in the middle and low latitudes and in the Polar Regions.

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.
