Abstract:

Aiming at the coordinate-frame inconsistency in traditional quaternion nonlinear error model of strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), the attitude error model and velocity error model are improved, the error vector is projected into the computational navigation coordinate frame. In addition, the damping information of global position system is introduced, based on the damping SINS calculation and unscented quaternion estimator, a novel alignment algorithm based on improved quaternion damping error model is proposed, which is applied to the initial alignment of SINS in mooring state. Simulation and vehicle test results show that the improved algorithm has better alignment accuracy, convergence speed and stability than the traditional quaternion damping error model alignment algorithm and Euler angle damping error model alignment algorithm under different large misalignment angles.

Key words: strapdown inertial navigation system, initial alignment, quaternion, nonlinear error model, damping
