Abstract :
The algorithms and the applications of static base initial alignment method of inertial navigation system are presented. Kalman filtering is used in initial alignment method. The math platform error angles ¿N, ¿E, ¿D are estimated form random error and random disturbance, while the gyro drifts and accelerometer bias are estimated, and the system platform coordinate and navigation coordinate are alignment through calibrating by kalman filter. Examples with actual experiment demonstrate that the method has apparent superiority, the system alignment error angles precision is improved from ¿N = ¿E = ¿D =0.28°to ¿N, = ¿E =0.027°, ¿D = 0.014° and the system alignment time is shortened from 170s to 20s.
