New Algorithms for Autonomous Inertial Navigation Systems Correction with Precession Angle Sensors in Aircrafts.

This paper presents new algorithmic methods for accuracy improvement of autonomous inertial navigation systems of aircrafts. Firstly, an inertial navigation system platform and its nonlinear error model are considered, and the correction schemes are presented for autonomous inertial navigation systems using internal information. Next, a correction algorithm is proposed based on signals from precession angle sensors. A vector of reduced measurements for the estimation algorithm is formulated using the information about the angles of precession. Finally, the accuracy of the developed correction algorithms for autonomous inertial navigation systems of aircrafts is studied. Numerical solutions for the correction algorithm are presented by the adaptive Kalman filter for the measurement data from the sensors. Real data of navigation system Ts-060K are obtained in laboratory experiments, which validates the proposed algorithms.
