A new scheme of small integrated navigation system based on micro inertial measurement unit (MIMU), global position system (GPS) is presented. The characteristic of these sensors and the structure of system are introduced respectively. The TI high performance floating point DSP TMS320C6713B is used as core processor, which is designed to realize both the data collecting and the navigation calculating. According to the error models of inertial navigation system, an integrated navigation algorithm used Kalman filter is proposed to fuse the information from all of the sensors. The simulation test results show the feasibility of the system design.

A constrained low-cost SINS/OD filter aided with magnetometer is proposed in this paper. The filter is designed to provide a land vehicle navigation solution by fusing the measurements of the microelectromechanical systems based inertial measurement unit (MEMS IMU), the magnetometer (MAG), and the velocity measurement from odometer (OD). First, accelerometer and magnetometer integrated algorithm is studied to stabilize the attitude angle. Next, a SINS/OD/MAG integrated navigation system is designed and simulated, using an adaptive Kalman filter (AKF). It is shown that the accuracy of the integrated navigation system will be implemented to some extent. The field-test shows that the azimuth misalignment angle will diminish to less than 1°. Finally, an outliers detection algorithm is studied to estimate the velocity measurement bias of the odometer. The experimental results show the enhancement in restraining observation outliers that improves the precision of the integrated navigation system.

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.

Navigation Method

The implementation principle of a typical three-pulse cold atom interference gyroscope is introduced in this paper. Based on its configuration and current research status, the problems of cold atom interference gyro are pointed out. The data-rate is insufficient, and it is difficult to achieve high dynamic measurement. Then, based on these two limitations, a novel design of the monitoring navigation system of the cold atom interference gyroscope (CAIG) and an intermediate-grade inertial measurement unit (IMU) was proposed to obtain the long-term position result without GPS signals, such as the Inertial Navigation System (INS) in underwater vehicles. While the CAIG was used as the external gyro, the bias of IMU and the misalignment angle between the CAIG-frame and the IMU-frame are obtained through filtering technique. The simulation test and field test demonstrated the improvements of the long-term positioning accuracy of the INS.

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.

In the process of developing guided munitions, ground test can only verify the performance of integrated navigation system in low dynamic condition, and its costly and risky to use means of authentication such as flight test and throw experiment. This paper proposes a kind of hardware-in-the-loop simulation (HILS) scheme with tri-axial turntable for verifying the performance of navigation system in high dynamic condition. It respectively uses quaternion method and four-sample rotation vector algorithm as attitude updating algorithms for comparison. On the basis of analyzing the characteristics of some tactical missile and the HILS system, the error sources of integrated navigation system in the simulation with turntable and that without turntable are discussed in detail. The results of HILS show that integrated navigation system is of good performance under high dynamic environment; moreover, for the fiber optic gyroscope (FOG) inertial measurement unit (IMU) which outputs angular rate, quaternion method is better than four-sample rotation vector algorithm.

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.
