In this paper, we theoretically analyzed the self-alignment/navigation performance in the accelerometer resonance state generated by dither motion of ring laser gyroscope in LINS and verified it through simulation. As a result of analysis, it is confirmed that the amplitude of the accelerometer measurement amplified in the accelerometer resonance state is decreased in the process of sampling per the navigation calculation period and that frequency is changed by the aliasing effect too. It was also analysed that the attitude error in self-alignment is determined by the amplitude/frequency of the accelerometer measurement, the gain of the self-alignment loop, and the velocity and position error in the navigation is determined by the amplitude/frequency/phase error of the accelerometer measurement. This analysis and simulation results show that the self-alignment and navigation performance is not be degraded only when the amplification factor of the accelerometer measurement in the accelerometer resonance state is 3 or less

An approach to improve the performance of SDINS and GPS integrated system for bank-to-turn flight vehicles is described. Then, it is shown through the simulation that a specific gyro misalignment error results in an increased heading error of SDINS. A new modelling method is presented herein for identifying of sensor and attitude error. The main advantage of the proposed method is that it not only estimates the gyro misalignment error of SDINS, but also improves estimate performance of heading error of SDINS in the presence of the gyro misalignments.

Korean army currently considers the development of the advanced MLRS(Multiple Launcher Rocket System) as a new alternative, which responses on the renovation of the artillery and future battle field environment. Therefore, This study suggests that the development methods of MLRS based on the analysis of the future battle field environment, world wide development trends of the MLRS and operation states of the domestic MLRS. According to this study, the development methods of new generation MLRS should be included a 230/130mm combined launcher competible with conventional 227mm on the vehicle, advanced FCS(Fire Control System), GPS/INS integration navigation system, Pod of ammunitiom, ammunition carrring vehicle and guided rocket munitions, etc.

Abstract It is necessary to verify the properties of an inertial measurement unit in the flight environment before applying to military applications. In this paper, we presented a new approach to verify an inertial measurement unit(IMU) in regard to the performance and the robustness in flight environments for the high-dynamics vehicle systems. We proposed two methods for verification of an IMU. We confirmed normal operation of an IMU and properties in flight environment by using direct comparison method. And we proposed real time multi-navigation system to complement the first method. The proposed method made it possible to compare navigation result at the same time. Therefore, it is easy to analyze the performance of an inertial navigation system and robustness during the vehicle flight. To verify the proposed method, we carried out a flight test as well as an experimental test of flight vibration on the ground. As a result of the experiment, we confirmed flight environment properties of an IMU. Therefore, we shows that the proposed method can serve the reliability improvement of IMU.

In the UAVs, the position error of the inertial navigation system is constantly increased when global positioning system goes wrong due to interference. It makes impossible to ensure mission and flight safety. If the data-link system provide the position of the UAV for inertial navigation system periodically, then the UAV may operate normally under malfunction of the global positioning system. In this paper, we introduce an algorithm for estimating the position of the UAV using the monopulse tracking and distance measurement of the line-of-sight data-link system. Also, we propose a method to improve the performance of position estimation. And we assured ourselves that this method can be applied in the UAVs.

In this paper we study the gyro bias calibration method of SDINS(Strap-Down Inertial Navigation System). Generally, SDINS's calibration is performed in 2-axis(or 3-axis) rate table with chamber for varying ambient temperature. We assumed that the majority of calibration-parameter except for gyro bias is knowned. During gyrobias calibration procedure, it can be induced some disturbances(accelerometer's short-term error induced rate table rotation and anti-vibration mount's rotation). In these cases, old gyro-bias calibration methods(using velocity error or attitude error) have an error, because these disturbances are not detectable at the same time. So that, we propose a new gyro-bias calibration method(heading error minimizing using equivalent linear transformation) that can detect anti-vibration mount's rotation. And we confirm efficiency of the new gyro-bias calibration method by simulation.

Laser Inertial Navigation System(LINS) consists of Ring Laser Gyroscopes(RLG) and accelerometers. RLG has a lock-in region in which there is zero output for input angular rates less than about 0.1deg/sec. The lock-in region is generated by the imperfect mirrors in RLG. To avoid the lock-in region, a sinusoidal motion called dither motion is applied on RLG. Therefore this dither motion is measured by RLG/accelerometer even if at a stop state. In this situation, the performance on the initial alignment of LINS can be degraded. In this paper, we analyze the performance on the initial alignment of LINS theoretically and experimentally. Analysis results include how dither motion, the pre-filter and the corner frequency in alignment loop affects the performance on the initial alignment of LINS.

This paper proposes various methods for constructing a HWIL simulation system including Inertial Navigation System(INS) and Guidance Control Unit(GCU) under the assumption that the INS identifies the initial attitude of an aviation body through its own alignment and that it is a package consisting of an inertial sensor and a navigation computation module. This paper also presents a real-time computing technology and a way to calculate the command of the Flight Motion System(FMS) analogous to the acutal flight environment. The proposed HWIL simulation system is constructed by applying the above-mentioned methods and the results of running a series of simulations confirm high effectiveness and usefulness of the system. Finally, minor error factors that could be acquired only in HWIL simulation Environment are analyzed.

스트랩다운 관성항법장치에 사용되는 대표적인 광학식 자이로인 링레이저 자이로(Ring Laser Gyro ; RLG)는 회전체가 없어 기존의 기계식 자이로가 가지고 있던 g-sensitive 오차가 발생하지 않지만 RLG 내부에 부착되어 링레이저를 반사시키는 기능을 하는 반사경의 산란에 의해 일정 크기의 작은 입력 각속도를 측정하지 못하는 lock-in이 발생한다. 이러한 lock-in을 제거하기 위해 정현파 진동을 RLG 몸체에 인가하며 이 진동에 의하여 자이로 출력에 랜덤워크 성분이 유발되어 RLG 성능저하의 원인이 된다. 본 논문에서는 RLG 랜덤워크에 의한 관성항법장치의 초기정렬 기법에 따른 초기정렬 성능을 분석하고 이에 대한 시뮬레이션 결과를 제시한다.

In order to guide a flying object which uses a seeker(SKR) and an inertial navigation system(INS) properly, we should confirm that axes of both equipments are aligned in the scope expected. In this paper we have proposed a method to measure the misaligned angle between a SKR and an INS during the system integration procedure. And we expanded this method to measure misalignments between several SKRs and an INS in case of captive flight test.
