Satellite/Inertial Navigation Integrated Navigation Method Based on Improved Kalman Filtering Algorithm

Abstract

With the continuous development of positioning technology in today’s world, the accuracy requirements for navigation and positioning are also getting higher and higher. Global Positioning and Navigation System (GPS) can provide high-precision long-term navigation and positioning information. However, it has a strong dependence on the external environment, which means that it is easily disturbed by environmental changes and affects the accuracy of navigation and positioning and even leads to positioning failure. The inertial navigation system (INS) is an autonomous navigation system. It uses sensors to measure the specific force and angular velocity of the carrier for positioning and navigation, which means that it is less affected by the environment. However, the inertial navigation device will produce a certain initial error due to the restriction of the manufacturing level, and the error will increase with time, so the inertial navigation method is not suitable for long-term navigation. Therefore, it is of great practical significance to realize satellite/inertial navigation integrated navigation by combining the respective advantages of satellite navigation and inertial navigation methods and avoiding their respective disadvantages. This paper is aimed at studying the satellite/inertial navigation integrated navigation method based on the improved Kalman filter algorithm. The satellite inertial navigation integrated navigation experiment is carried out based on the improved Kalman filter algorithm. In the experiment, the noise reduction experiment of the designed satellite inertial navigation system was carried out by using the filtering noise reduction function of the improved Kalman filter algorithm, and the conclusion was drawn after the experiment. The navigation accuracy of the satellite inertial navigation system is improved by a total of 2 m after the improved Kalman filter algorithm is used to filter the noise reduction.
