Abstract :
The paper describes the integrated aircraft navigation system, which includes the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), GPS receiver, optical horizon sensor and magnetometer. The integration algorithm for such system based on the Kalman filtering is represented. Application of this algorithm allows to improve the accuracy of the aircraft motion parameter estimation. For an optical horizon sensor a self-contained horizon recognition algorithm that enables real-time aircraft attitude determination relative to the horizon line is developed. A scaled-down simulation and performance analysis of the operation of the integrated navigation system is carried out.
