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.

조종사 없이 사전에 입력된 프로그램 또는 인공지능에 의해 기체 스스로 판단하여 자율비행하는 비행체를 무인 항공기라 한다.[6] 이러한 비행을 위해서는 기체의 위치, 자세, 속도 등의 정보가 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 3축 가속도센서 1개 및 1축 자이로센서 3개를 서로 수직으로 구성하는 관성항법 시스템에 자기콤파스, 고도센서, GPS등의 비관성센서를 추가로 구성하여 시스템을 설계하였으며 칼만필터를 이용하여 시스템의 오차를 추정하고 이를 되먹임 시킴으로써 오차를 정정한다.

Autonomous unmanned vehicle is able to find the path and the way point by itself. For the more precise navigation performance, Extended kalman filter, which is integrated with inertial navigation system and global positioning system is proposed in this paper. Extended kalman filter's performance is evaluated by the simulation and applied to the unmanned vehicle. The test result shows the effectiveness of extended kalman filter for the navigation.

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.

This paper describes a robust algorithm for an integrated underwater navigation system based on VKF (velocity Kalman filter). The proposed approach relies on a VKF, augmented by the altitude from an echo-sounder-based switching architecture to yield robust performance, even when DVL (Doppler velocity log) exceeds the measurement range and the measured value cannot be valid. The proposed approach relies on three parts: 1) PINS (pure inertial navigation system), 2) VKF design, and 3) VKF-aided integrated navigation filter design. To evaluate the proposed method, we compare the results of the VKF-aided navigation system with the simulation result from a PINS and conventional INS-DVL method.

This paper proposes a design method of a CDU(Control Display Unit) for commercial INS(Inertial Navigation Systems). In order to guarantee reusability and extendability, the design method is based on the class programming of the Windows operating system. Since the CDU has abstracted functions and variables, it can be interfaced with any INS. It is also easy to extend the designed functions using inheritance and polymorphism of the class. In order to show usefulness of the CDU, it has been implemented for the H-726 INS.

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.

RLG(Ring Laser Gyroscope) is a main device of LINS(Laser Inertial Navigation System). RLG has the lock-in region in which there is no output signal. To alleviate the lock-in problem, a mechanical oscillation, the dither motion, is applied on RLG. A LPF(Low Pass Filter) is usually used on the output of RLG and accelerometer to remove the noise that is made by the dither motion. When the LINS is induced the disturbance during the initial alignment, it takes more time on alignment due to the use of the LPF and a fixed gain controller. In this paper, an initial alignment using UKF(Unscented Kalman Filter) is designed and analysed. Analysis include comparison between conventional initial alignment loop using fixed gain type controller and proposed initial alignment using UKF. Moreover, Disturbance inducing test results are demonstrated.
