Abstract

This article summarises the activities of Honeywell Sondertechnik in Maintal Germany in the development and prototyping of a new low cost land navigation system (ILANA) with a minimum amount of inertial sensors. The system utilises one GG1308 ring-laser-gyro, two vibrating beam accelerometers RBA500 and a hodometer. To aid the system, a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver and the possibility for manual position fixes have been incorporated. System evaluation featured the Standard-Positioning-Service (SPS) and the Precise-Positioning-Service (PPS) of GPS. This effort has been conducted by Honeywell Sondertechnik in the time span 1992-1993. It highlights the important technical aspects and presents major test results
