Abstract

The authors show the benefits of combining the GPS (Global Positioning System) solution with the INS (inertial navigation system) solution to extend navigation through the jammed environment. A simulated scenario containing the dynamics and jamming of various mission phases (takeoff, en route navigation, target area entry, etc.) are defined and used to obtain performance data. A variety of real-time methods for determining how to use the GPS navigation solution in the mission computer are demonstrated, and an INS error filter is modeled and analyzed to show the improvement in navigation capability possible when using state-3 (jammed) GPS data
