Unified error analysis application to altimeter- aided terrestrial inertial navigation systems
Study of concept of inertially aided barometric altimetry system to meet vertical separation requirements of 1000 and 2000 feet for Mach 3.5 aircraft in altitude hold at 80,000 feet
This volume offers the avionic systems engineer a fundamental exposition of the mechanization and error analysis of inertial navigation systems. While the material is applicable to spacecraft and undersea navigation, emphasis is placed upon terrestrial applications on or slightly above the earth's surface. As a result, practical considerations are geared toward those aircraft navigation systems of particular current interest. Extensive use is made of perturbation techniques to develop linearized system equations, whose solutions closely approximate those obtained by nonlinear differential equations. A unified error analysis technique is developed that is applicable to virtually all system configurations. The technique provides a greatly simplified method for comparing the performance of competing system configurations.
