Error Correction Capability of GPS/INS Integrated Navigation System for Guided Rockets

Wei Bian, Liang Ming Wang, Chuan Bing Ding, Yang Zhong

Abstract

In order to improve the guidance accuracy of long-range rockets, a GPS/INS integrated navigation method with combination of position, velocity and attitude was applied. The GPS/INS integrated navigation system taking the position and velocity from INS and attitude from GPS as observables was studied. The error model of system was established and the Kalman filter was designed. A 6-DOF trajectory simulation was put forward and the correction capability of the INS measurement error by using GPS attitude measurement information was analyzed. The simulation results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the integrated navigation method.
