For successful operations of an airborne Active Electronically-Scanned Array (AESA) radar, which has various advantages over traditional radar systems, accurate and robust navigation is critical. This paper discusses a study on the performance analysis of an integrated navigation based on the Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) system for an aircraft equipped with an AESA radar. The models for generating the inputs for the GPS/IMU are developed. A navigation filter for a loosely-coupled GPS/IMU system is constructed. Overall navigation performance assessment procedure using a six degree of freedom aircraft simulator - along with the GPS/IMU models and the navigation filter - is introduced. The steps of the performance analysis procedure are explained using a comprehensive case study.

Navigation Software for the various weapon systems has common functionalities which give the possibility of common use among them. SPL(Software Product Line) framework of the navigation software for weapon system refers to developing a standardized navigation software platform from common functionalities of navigation software, managing the standardized navigation software platform, and developing weapon system navigation software such as navigation software for missile, UAV(Unmanned Air Vehicle), submarine, and etc. from the standardized navigation software platform. In this paper, we propose SPL based navigation software development process, Integrated Development Environment and operational concept of SPL framework. The operational concept will be defined by specifying the role of every stake holders and their activity scenario. The Operational concept would be referenced to implement SPL for other domain through using with detail implementation guide.

This paper proposes an attitude determination GPS/INS integrated system scheme for a UAV and presents experimental flight test results. The proposed system is designed as a part of an autopilot system and comprises a GPS attitude determination receiver, an off-the-shelf inertial measurement unit (IMU), and a navigation computer unit (NCU). UAV requires accurate attitude information for stable automatic flight control. The proposed system can provide accurate attitude information for the flight control computer (FCC) so that stable automatic flight control can be achieved. In order to verify the performance of the proposed scheme, an integrated navigation system has been developed. In order to evaluate the developed navigation system, the flight test has been performed. In the flight test, the developed system was shown to provide the position, the velocity and the attitude satisfactorily enough for stable flight control. The accuracy of the attitude information of the developed system was confirmed by comparing attitude of vertical gyro.

전세계 위성항법시스템은 미국의 GPS, 러시아의 GLONASS가 운용되고 있으며, Galileo, COMPASS 등이 구축 중에 있다. 세계적인 시스템으로 발전한 GPS와는 대조적으로 GLONASS는 세계 위성항법 사용자는 물론 자국 내의 사용자에게까지도 외면 당해왔다. 이는 구소련의 붕괴이후 러시아의 재정문제로 GLONASS가 완전한 임무수행을 못했기 때문이다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 러시아 GLONASS 시스템의 현대화 정책을 분석하고, 위성으로부터 수신되는 실측데이터를 통해 시스템의 운용정도를 분석한 결과 정상작동 중이며 GPS와 GLONASS 통합 데이터가 매우 우수함을 확인하였다.

Safe aircraft requires highly reliable navigation information. The traditionally used inertial navigation system (INS) often displays faulty location information due to its innate errors. To overcome this, the INS/GNSS or INS/TRN integrated navigation can be used. However, GNSS is vulnerable to jamming and spoofing, while TRN can be degraded in the flat and repetitive terrains. In this paper, to improve the performance and ensure the high reliability of the navigation system, the INS/GNSS/TRN integrated navigation based on federated filter is designed. Master filter of the integrated navigation uses the estimates and covariances of two local filters - INS/GNSS and INS/TRN integrated filters. The local filters are designed with the EKF that is feedforward type and composed of the 17st state variables. And the INS/GNSS integrated navigation includes the barometer error compensation method. Finally, the proposed INS/GNSS/TRN integrated navigation is verified by vehicle and captive flight tests.

GPS can provide precise relative navigation information. But it needs a reference station in a close range and is effected by satellite observation environment. In this paper, we propose INS and Vision sensor integrated system with a known landmark geometry. This system is supposed to overcome problems of GPS only system. Using the proposed method, a relative navigation is available without a GPS reference station. The only need for the proposed system is a landmark image which is drawn on the ground. We conduct simple simulation to check the performance of this method. As a result, we confirm that it can improve the relative navigation information.

Many researches on use of local ground navigation systems can be found to overcome vulnerability of GNSS. Effective use of an altimeter is proposed in GNSS/DME integrated navigation systems. A weighted DOP based on statistics of measurement error is derived for a given vehicle motion trajectory. From the derived DOP, the vertical error is estimated. By comparing the estimated vertical error with error specification of the altimeter, use of the altimeter is determined in the GPS/DME integrated navigation systems. In order to show effectiveness of the proposed method, 50 times Monte-Carlo simulations were performed for a GPS/DME integrated navigation system. The results show that the proposed method gives more accurate navigation outputs when the number of GPS satellites in view varies.
