Abstract:Inertial navigation is completely autonomous, highly covert and has a high data frequency, which is widely used in airborne guided weapons. As the condition for transfer alignment may be bad during the flight, and the misalignment angle may be large, so that traditional linear model cannot accurately reflect the real situation of the system. To achieve a high alignment accuracy, nonlinear model and filter are utilized. Because nonlinear filter has a large calculation quantity and the computing power of on-board computer is limited, it is very important to reduce the calculated quantity of the filter. A dimension reduced Cubature Kalman Filter(CKF) algorithm is adopted in nonlinear transfer alignment model, and the sampling points are reduced from 30 to 6, significantly reducing the calculation quantity.
