The purpose of this paper is to show and define the performance, the system mechanization and the algorithm of the Strapdown Inertial Navigation System(SDINS). First, navigation equations are derived in the Earth Fixed mechanization and this mechanization apply to the two kinds of inertial measurement units which consist of same fiber optic gyros and different accelerometers(SDINS-1 and SDINS-2). Those two accelerometers have the different bias. To evaluate its performance, two kinds of tests have been performed - static motionless test, and rectangle-route moving test. The results of the moving test are compared with the results of Differential GPS which has an accuracy with ±2.0mm. and are presented in this paper.

항법(navigation)은 기준좌표계에 대한 항체(vehicle)의 위치나 속도를 알아내기 위한 것으로 이를 위한 시스템이 관성항법장치(inertial navigation system-INS)이며 항법기능을 수행하기 위하여 항체에 놓여진 쎈서의 관성성질을 이용한다. INS는 specific force와 관성 각속도의 측정에서 얻은 데이타를 처리함으로 그 기능을 수행한다. 스트랩다운 INS(SINS)는 관성항법장치의 한 종류로 analytic INS라고도 하는데 기준좌표축을 유지하기 위하여 안정테이블을 사용하지 않고 쎈서들을 항체에 직접 부착시켜 초기상태와 현재상태와의 사이에 상대적인 회전방향을 해석적으로 계산한다. INS의 성능은 수많은 오차원(error source)의 함수로 주어지며 이 오차원 중에는 주위환경에 의한 것도 있고 INS 구성에 사용된 기구(instruments)와 관련된 것도 있다. INS 를 해석하는 목적은 항법의 정확도를 알아보는데 있으며 또한 각각의 오차원의 값을 추정하는 것도 부가적인 목적이 된다. 이러한 오차의 추정치는 사양(specification)을 모르는 부품의 성능을 식별하는데 사용될 수 있다. 따라서 INS를 해석함으로 INS를 구성하는 어떤 부품에 대한 성능이 어느정도 개선을 필요로 하는가 알 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 SINS의 오차원을 크게 고도계의 불확실성, 중력의 편향과 이상, 가속도계의 불확실성, 자이로의 불확실성의 네 그룹으로 나누어 상호분산해석(covariance analysis)방법으로 각 오차원이 시스템에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다.

This paper describes the design and implementation of a high-speed navigation computer to achieve precision navigation performance with Strapdown INS. The navigation computer inputs are velocity and angular increment data from the ISA at the signal of the 2404Hz interrupt and performs the removal of gyro block motion and the compensation of high dynamic errors at the 200Hz. For high-speed and high-accuracy, the computer consists of the 68040 micro-processor, 128k Memories, FPGAs, and so on. We show that the computer satisfies the required performance by In-Run navigation tests.

A rapid one-shot alignment method of the Strapdown INS (SDINS) for a vertical launch is proposed. The proposed alignment is performed using the accelerometer output of the Slave INS and the attitude of the Master INS. To improve the accuracy and the speed of the alignment, the equivalent linear transformation and the pre-filtering method are developed. Experiment results show that the proposed method is effective in improving the accuracy and the speed of the alignment.

An alignment algorithm for strapdown inertial navigation systems is proposed, in which the psi angle error model is utilized. The proposed alignment algorithm is derived from the Psi angle error model which has been widely used in real-time navigation systems. The equation for expecting steady state alignment error is also derived. The proposed algorithm was verified through real-time experiments. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can be used in the inertial navigation system and GNSS/INS integrated navigation system to get an initial attitude of the vehicle.

This paper presents a computation method of LOS(Line Of Sight) angle using IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit) for an antenna on aerial vehicle to point to a stationary satellite. In the overall system, the antenna is located at the front of the vehicle, and an IMU is introduced to account for body flexure dynamic. And using the differences between the position and velocity of the IMU based navigation and those of GPS/INS at the vehicle center. Kalman filter is designed to suppress Strapdown INS drift errors.

Presented in this paper is a complete error covariance analysis for strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS). We have found that in SDINS the cross-coupling terms in gyrocompass alignment errors can significantly influence the SDINS error propagation. Initial heading error has a close correlation with the east component of gyro bias erro, while initial level tilt errors are closely related to accelerometer bias errors. In addition, pseudo-state variables are introduced in covariance analysis for SDINS utilizing the characteristics of gyrocompass alignment errors. This approach simplifies the covariance analysis because it makes the initial error covariance matrix to a diagonal form. Thus a real implementation becomes easier. The approach is conformed by comparing the results for a simplified case with the covariance analysis obtained from the conventional SDINS error model.

In this paper, a robust transfer alignment method is proposed for a strapdown inertial navigation system(SDINS) with norm-bounded parametric uncertainties. The uncertainties are described by the energy bound constraint, i.e., sum quadratic constraint(SQC). It is shown that the SQC can be coverted into an indefinite quadratic cost function in the Krein space. Krein space Kalman filter is designed by modifying the measurement matrix and the variance of measurement noises in the conventional Kalman filter. Since the proposed Krein space Kalman filter has the same recursive structure as a conventional Kalman filter, the proposed filter can easily be designed. The simulation results show that the proposed filter achieves robustness against measurement time delay and high dynamic environment of the vehicle.
