Abstract

An experimental Kalman filter integrated navigation and position determination system is presented. The system operates on a distributed computer installed in a Convair 580 aircraft, for use in scientific research in the areas of geophysics, oceanography, and advanced navigation. Representative results which show the operation of the prototype during tests of some of its failure modes are presented
