The CPS provides data with long-term stability independent of passed time and the INS provides high-rate data with short-term stability. By integrating these complementary systems, a highly accurate navigation system can be achieved. In this paper, a loosely-coupled GPS/INS integration system is designed. It is a simple structure and is easy to implement and preserves independent navigation capability of GPS and INS. The integration system consists of a NCU, an IMU, a GPS receiver, and a monitoring system. The navigation algorithm in the NCU is designed under the multi-tasking environment based on a real-time kernel system and the monitoring system is designed using the Visual C++. The integrated Kalman filter is designed as a feedback formed 15-state filter, in which the states are position errors, velocity errors, attitude errors and sensor bias errors. The van test result shows that the integrated system provides more accurate navigation solution then the inertial or the GPS-alone navigation system.

This paper designs a CDU(Control Disaply Unit) for commercial high precision INS(Inertial Navigation System). The CDU is designed using GUI(Graphic User Interface) programming running on Windows operating system. Since the designed CDU provides standard functions of the Windows operating systems and has a modular structure, it is easy to modify and extend. The CDU has been interfaced to the H-726 INS, from which it's usefulness can be seen.

The necessity for the precise time synchronization of measurement data from multiple sensors is widely recognized in the field of global positioning system/inertial navigation system (GPS/INS) integration. Having precise time synchronization is critical for achieving high data fusion performance. The limitations and advantages of various time synchronization scenarios and existing solutions are investigated in this paper. A criterion for evaluating synchronization accuracy requirements is derived on the basis of a comparison of the Kalman filter innovation series and the platform dynamics. An innovative time synchronization solution using a counter and two latching registers is proposed. The proposed solution has been implemented with off-the-shelf components and tested. The resolution and accuracy analysis shows that the proposed solution can achieve a time synchronization accuracy of 0.1 ms if INS can provide a hard-wired timing signal. A synchronization accuracy of 2 ms was achieved when the test system was used to synchronize a low-grade micro-electromechanical inertial measurement unit (IMU), which has only an RS-232 data output interface.

본 논문에서는 정밀 행성 착륙을 위해 광학센서와 관성항법시스템을 이용한 지형보조 관성항법 시스템을 구현하였다. 또한 측정된 지형 데이터와 사전에 탑재한 지형 데이터간의 특징점 추출, 매칭, 추적의 영상 처리 과정을 수행하였고 이를 통해 특징점의 좌표를 추출할 수 있다. 반복 확장칼만필터를 이용한 항법 시스템은 기존 관성 항법 장치의 항법 오차 누적을 보상하여 보다 정밀한 항법 정보를 제공한다. 이는 향후 착륙선의 유도 및 제어 법칙과 결합하여 정밀 행성 착륙을 위한 시스템 구현에 적용이 가능하다.

An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is an aircraft controlled by .emote commands from ground station and/o. pre-programmed onboard autopilot system. A navigation system in the UAV provides a navigation data for a flight control computer(FCC). The FCC requires accurate and reliable position, velocity and attitude information for guidance and control. This paper proposes an ADGPS/INS integrated navigation system for a UAV. The proposed navigation system comprises an attitude determination GPS (ADGPS) receive., a navigation computer unit, and a low-cost commercial MEMS inertial measurement unit(IMU). The navigation algorithm contains a fault detection and isolation (FDI) function fur integrity. In order to evaluate the performance of the proposed navigation system, two flight tests were preformed using a small aircraft. The first flight test was carried out to confirm fundamental operation of the proposed navigation system and to check the effectiveness of the FDI algorithm. In the second flight test, the navigation performance and the benefit of the GPS attitude information were checked in a high dynamic environment. The flight test results show that the proposed ADGPS/INS integrated navigation system gives a reliable performance even when anomalous GPS data is provided and better navigation performance than a conventional GPS/INS integration unit.

본 논문에서는 실외 정밀 위치 추정을 위하여 설계된 GPS(Global positioning system)-INS(Inertial navigation system) 결합 시스템의 잡음 필터링 기법과 데이터 결합을 위한 기법을 소개한다. 실외 이동 항체의 속도 변화에 따라 차등적으로 발생하는 INS의 잡음들을 이산 웨이블릿 변환을 통해 신호를 분석하고 발생하는 잡음들을 데이터의 왜곡을 최소화하며 제거할 수 있는 차등 임계화 기법을 통한 필터링 기법을 제안하였다. 이는 항체의 가/감/등속을 고려하지 않고 특정 로우/하이 필터를 적용하여 데이터의 왜곡이 일어나는 기존 필터링 기법을 개선한 것이다. 또한 UPF를 이용해 비선형 특성과, 비가우시안 잡음의 특성을 가지는 실외 이동 항체의 GPS와 INS의 결합시킴으로서 실외에서 정밀하게 위치를 추정할 수 있게 하였고 이를 설계하여 실험을 통해 성능을 분석하였다.

In this paper, an INS compensation algorithm for auto sailing system is proposed, where low cost IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) is used for measuring the accelerometer data. First, we denote the basic INS algorithm with IMU and show that how to compensate the error of position by using low cost IMU. Second, in considering the ship's characteristic and ocean environments, we consider with a factor as a periodic external disturbance which effects to the exact position. To develop the compensation algorithm, we use a repetitive method to reduce the external environment changes. Lastly, we verify the proposed algorithm by using experiments results.

Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) are widely used as the main navigation device for aircraft. To get the initial attitude, the INS requires the initial alignment before navigation starts. An aircraft also needs an engine test procedure that causes some vibrations before flight. An INS can't be aligned in a vibration environment so the initial alignment is performed before the aircraft engine test. Therefore, the initial alignment time of an INS has been a major factor in limiting an aircraft's takeoff response time. In this paper, we designed an initial alignment algorithm that can be executed even in disturbances such as aircraft run-up. We demonstrated verification of the algorithm that is embedded on the real INS and testing methods to evaluate the alignment of the INS. We also analyzed the test results of the proposed initial alignment algorithm that is performed during a real aircraft run-up.
