Nowadays, along with the advancement of technology one can notice the rapid development of various types of navigation systems. So far, the most popular satellite navigation, is now supported by positioning results calculated with the use of other measurement system. The method and manner of integration will depend directly on the destination of developed system. To increase the frequency of readings and improve the operation of outdoor navigation systems, one can support satellite navigation systems (GPS, GLONASS ect.) with inertial navigation (INS/GPS systems). For the last two decades, due to the miniaturization in electronics it is possible to build GPS/INS systems with the use of low cost MEMS devices. The following study presents the concept of Kalman filter based integration algorithm designed for cheap micro – electronic navigation platform. The tests of considered algorithm were made with the use of MEMS smartphone sensors. Subsequently the results of the study were analyzed to determine the accuracy of featured algorithm.

Abstract Nowadays, along with the advancement of technology one can notice the rapid development of various types of navigation systems. So far the most popular satellite navigation, is now supported by positioning results calculated with use of other measurement system. The method and manner of integration will depend directly on the destination of system being developed. To increase the frequency of readings and improve the operation of outdoor navigation systems, one will support satellite navigation systems (GPS, GLONASS ect.) with inertial navigation. Such method of navigation consists of several steps. The first stage is the determination of initial orientation of inertial measurement unit, called INS alignment. During this process, on the basis of acceleration and the angular velocity readings, values of Euler angles (pitch, roll, yaw) are calculated allowing for unambiguous orientation of the sensor coordinate system relative to external coordinate system. The following study presents the concept of AHRS (Attitude and heading reference system) algorithm, allowing to define the Euler angles.The study were conducted with the use of readings from low-cost MEMS cell phone sensors. Subsequently the results of the study were analyzed to determine the accuracy of featured algorithm. On the basis of performed experiments the legitimacy of developed algorithm was stated.

Insufficient Number

Nowadays majority of navigation methods, used in unmanned flying vehicles, are based on satellite navigation systems, such as GPS or GLONASS, or are amplified with them. But hardware, that uses such systems, can’t work in difficult conditions, for example causes by relief: with insufficient number of satellites or at low satellite signal. Satellite navigation systems are vulnerable for methods of radio defense: satellite signal can be deadened or replaced. That is why such systems usage is unacceptable while critical missions during military operations, emergency or reconnaissance. The article briefly describes components used for building alternative satellite-free navigation systems for flying vehicles. For each component its purpose and brief description of working principle are given, advantages and disadvantages are considered.
