Quantitative Study of the T-AVIM-Based Simulated IMU Error in Polar Regions

Abstract

For solving the problem of polar performance of the inertial navigation system (INS) at mid-low latitudes, the simulation test system constructed by the “attitude and velocity invariant method of trajectory transfer rule based on the transverse coordinate system (T-AVIM)” of the Earth sphere model is used. The test system structure, especially the IMU conversion formula from mid-low latitudes to polar region simulation test, is introduced, and it is proved that the IMU conversion error can be equivalently superimposed on the bias error of the polar simulated IMU. According to the marine estimation formula for the effect of the reference error on the IMU conversion error, the specific influence of the constant error component and the random error component of the reference system on the simulated IMU is analyzed. The calculation method of the simulated IMU error is given with examples and intuitively explained, and the correctness of the theory is verified through simulation experiments.
