An In-Flight Emergency Alignment Scheme for Aircraft MINS with Assistant of Airborne SAR

Abstract:

The alignment of a strapdown inertial navagation system (SDINS) is the process whereby the orientation of body frame is determined with respect to the navigation frame [. In a broad sense, alignment of SDINS can be classified as initial alignment and in-flight alignment (IFA). The IFA is performed with IMU and external sensors during the vehicle flight [2,, in which the primary assistant sources are satellite system, radar, or other airborne equipment, offering reference signals like position, velocity, or attitude to assist the alignment process [4,. However, these sources have disadvantages in redundancy, independence, and stability, which will be incipient faults in emergency take-off or warfare. So it is necessary for us to analyse the subsidiary airborne equipments and design new in-flight alignment scheme.
