Analysis of observability for strapdown inertial navigation system

스트랩다운 관성항법장치에 대한 가관측성 분석

The observability of an strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS) is investigated. The piece-wise constant systems are defined and the stepped observability matrix scheme is applied to observability analysis of SDINS theoretically, the results are compared with that of covariance simulation. It is found that SDINS is more observable than gimballed inertial navigation system (GINS) in the case of the variation of vehicle attitude, and is found that the stepped observability matrix theory is simple and useful for the analysis of the system observability but the results are not completely same as that of covariance simulation.
