Research on Flight Altitude Information Fusion Method for ADS/INS/GPS Integrated Systems Based on Federated Filter

Article Preview

Abstract:

The precision of the altitude measurement system installed in some type airplane does not fulfill the need of the airborne equipment, this paper propose a method based on the federated filter which utilizes the data of the air data computer system (ADS), inertial navigation system (INS) and the GPS to improve the precision and stability of the altitude output. The results of simulation show that the algorithm takes full advantage of all of the sub-system, which reduces the error of the ADS and improves the altitude output precision. Meanwhile the method may separate some faulted sub-system (e.g. GPS) and reform the system, which renders the system better fault tolerant and real-time performance.
