Abstract

A method of MIMU/satellite ultra-tightly integrated attitude determination is proposed in this paper. Due to the MIMU and the satellite attitude measurement system with two or several receiving antennas are all able to provide the information of location, speed and attitude of carrier, a federated filtering structure is designed, in which the unscented kalman filter is applied in the local filter and redundant sensor information is used to improve the carrier gesture angle estimation accuracy. Simulation results show that the method has high precision and good reliability.
