Landmark-Based Inertial Navigation System for Autonomous Navigation of Missile Platform

摘要

As a new information provider of autonomous navigation, the on-orbit landmark observation offers a new means to improve the accuracy of autonomous positioning and attitude determination. A novel autonomous navigation method based on the landmark observation and the inertial system is designed to achieve the high-accuracy estimation of the missile platform state. In the proposed method, the navigation scheme is constructed first. The implicit observation equation about the deviation of the inertial system output is derived and the Kalman filter is applied to estimate the missile platform state. Moreover, the physical observability of the landmark and the mathematical observability of the navigation system are analyzed. Finally, advantages of the proposed autonomous navigation method are demonstrated through simulations compared with the traditional celestial-inertial navigation system and the deeply integrated celestial-inertial navigation system.
