Method of Attitude Measurement Based on the Geomagnetic and Gyroscope

Abstract:

The trajectory correction capability of the Simple guided munitions is directly affected by measurement accuracy of attitude angle. A gesture detection method based on geomagnetic gyro combination is proposed in this paper in order to detect the projectile flight attitude, The yaw angle of the projectile is solved by using runge-kutta algorithm with angle information of MEMS gyro. Then roll angle and pitch angle of the projectile is solved by magnetic field component of the three-axis magnetic sensor. Finally, the whole attitude detection system is installed in three-axis non-magnetic turntable to have a performance test. Experimental results show that the attitude solution results error is small. Nearby blind area, the roll angle error reduced to 5° and the pitch angle error reduced to 4°. In other locations, the roll angle error reduced to 2° and the pitch angle error reduce to 1°. The measurement accuracy increased nearly tenfold, can satisfy the trajectory correction demand of simple guidance ammunition.
