Abstract:

In view of the current situation that the description of the alignment ability of the polar inertial navigation system needs to be further clarified, the consistency of coarse alignment of strapdown inertial navigation system in the polar frame is analyzed and proved. Firstly, taking the three-axis attitude determination-based coarse alignment method as an example, the error characteristics of the alignment results in traditional navigation frame are derived by using the total differential formula, where the misalignment angle in up direction diverges rapidly with increasing latitude. Then, the relation between the misalignment angle of coarse alignment and sensor error in grid frame, pseudo-earth frame and earth-centered earth-fixed coordinate system is constructed respectively, and the misalignment angle expression is obtained which is consistent with the traditional navigation frame. Finally, simulation experiments verify that multiple coarse alignment methods get the same alignmeat effect under different frames, and further verify the correctness of theoretical analysis.

Key words: polar inertial navigation, coarse alignment, grid frame, pseudo-earth frame, consistency analysis
