  • Initial and Final Alignment of a Strapdown Airborne Gravimeter and
           Accelerometer Bias Determination

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: In strapdown airborne gravimetry, initial alignment of a strapdown inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the gravimeter is of great importance. It is performed to determine the IMU attitude angles by the measurements during the aircraft standstill before the flight. This information, in its turn, helps determine the bias of the gravimeter vertical accelerometer. After the flight the bias is determined again and the linear drift over the entire flight can be removed from the vertical accelerometer measurements. However, the measurements of inertial sensors are disturbed by uncontrolled angular motions of the IMU due to external mechanical actions on the gravimeter body during the aircraft standstill. The paper proposes an algorithm for the gravimeter IMU initial and final alignments with the determination of IMU attitude angles and biases of all three accelerometers during the standstills before and after the flight. It has been shown in the paper that the accelerometer scale factor errors can also be determined by the algorithm. The algorithm performance under the angular motions of the gravimeter has been demonstrated on experimental data. The accelerometers calibration accuracy has been evaluated by comparing with the results of another calibration algorithm and by analyzing the errors in IMU autonomous dead-reckoning.

      Abstract: A review of publications on the development of HRG with a metal resonator is presented; its typical design with piezoelectric elements used in the excitation and sensitivity modes is considered. The scale factors of the angular rate sensor (ARS) based on the HRG (HRG-ARS) and the integrating gyroscope (HRG-IG) are obtained.

Temperature dependences of the HRG-ARS accuracy characteristics for specified ranges of angular rate and temperature variations are obtained. Allan variances are analyzed, including those for different temperatures. The results of rotation, temperature, vibration and shock tests, as well as the achieved accuracy of the HRG-ARS are discussed.

  • Methodology of Airborne Gravimetry Surveying and Strapdown Gravimeter Data
           Processing

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: The paper presents a methodology of preparing and conducting airborne gravimetry survey using an inertial measuring unit (IMU) or strapdown inertial navigation system as airborne gravimeter. We also discuss the key aspects of developing appropriate postprocessing algorithms and software and their application to gravimeter raw data processing. Solving the strapdown inertial airborne gravimetry problem, we use readings of the IMU sensors (accelerometers and gyroscopes) as primary information. The second equally important source of information is raw (pseudorange, Doppler pseudorange rate, and carrier phase) measurements from the GNSS receivers on board the aircraft and on the ground. The developed methodology, algorithms, and practical recommendations presented in the paper are based on the authors’ long-term experience in airborne gravimetry.

  • State-of-the-Art Optical Resonator Gyroscopes

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: The paper discusses the modern state of optical resonator gyroscopes. The basic concept of this type of gyros is described. The main approaches to their design and the method for angular rate measurement are considered, with the main focus made on the pioneer and most popular approach based on the use of phase modulation spectroscopy and a tuned laser. An alternative approach based on low-coherent sources of light is also analyzed. The main sources of measurement errors and the methods to overcome them are considered. The best value of random drift has been so far achieved using fiber ring resonators: 2.0 deg/h with the ring diameter 60 mm and the integration time 1 s, and 1.23 deg/h in 5 s; with the diameter 120 mm, 0.37 deg/h has been achieved with the integration time 1 s and 0.06 deg/h with 370 s. The reasons that currently hinder the commercial development of optical resonator gyros are studied.

  • Approximately Optimal Stabilization of a Gyroscopic System with Many
           Degrees of Freedom and Slowly Varying Parameters

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: The problem of stabilization of small oscillations of a gyroscopic system with many degrees of freedom and slowly varying parameters is considered and solved using Bellman’s principle of dynamic programming. The approximate procedures for the controller synthesis are based on the asymptotic solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equation by the averaging method. A quadratic optimality criterion is used, depending on the oscillation amplitudes of the system and control. The proposed method is applied to linear disturbances of the general type and those associated with a slow change in system parameters. The new approach allows the design of controllers in analytical form.

  • Calculation of Motion Blur Trajectories in a Digital Image as a Special
           Problem of Inertial Navigation

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: The paper studies the blur trajectory, i.e. the motion of a point light source projection along the image plane. It occurs when the digital camera and the observed scene move relative to each other during exposure. The blur trajectory is calculated by solving a set of differential equations of the point plane motion kinematics, written in terms of the measurements of velocity and specific force vectors. The formulated problem is called the special problem of inertial navigation in order to emphasize its differences from the problem of strapdown inertial navigation in the conventional sense. The set of equations of the special problem is obtained in the image plane coordinates. Model examples of blur trajectories calculation are presented for two limiting cases: a distant star and a close motionless target. In the first case, the possibility of increasing the probability of the star blurry image detection in noise is shown. Also, it is discussed how to eliminate the unpredictable systematic error in measuring the star’s coordinates.

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: The paper discusses the development of a lunar navigation satellite system and a lunar orbital spaceport based on high near-circular orbits of an Moon artificial satellite and using Russian launch vehicles. Two tasks are studied within a complex problem of a lunar orbital system construction for the navigation support during future development of the Moon. The results of analysis of a spacecraft orbital evolution while moving in the real field of the Moon under the effect of gravitational perturbations are presented. It is shown that the high polar near-circular orbits around the Moon can retain their orbital shape for a long time. Spacecraft insertion into such orbits using a few scenarios is considered. Possible configuration of the lunar navigation satellite system is analyzed to illustrate the fundamental possibility of constructing such a navigation system and a lunar orbital spaceport based in high near-circular orbits around the Moon and using the launch vehicles of the Soyuz family.

      Abstract: Light source is one of the key components of fiber optic gyroscopes. The performance of these gyros, including their scale factor and bias stability depend directly on the parameters of the light source output. Although the modern market offers a variety of light sources potentially suitable for fiber optic gyros, it seems quite challenging to choose a proper light source. The objective of this paper is to study and compare the light sources made by various companies, in particular, to measure and analyze the pattern and width of their spectra, weighted average wavelength, the output optical power, and the power consumption. A comprehensive comparative analysis of the obtained characteristics of the sources has been carried out.

      Abstract: A real-time algorithm for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) relative position and attitude determination has been proposed, which uses range measurements to acoustic beacons positioned at small distances to each other on a common platform. Mutual arrangement of AUV and beacons is a priori unknown, and their time scales are not synchronized. The developed algorithm considers the nonlinear character of measurements while featuring a lower computational burden compared to the maximum likelihood method. Results from simulation and postprocessing of real data with different AUV arrangements relative to the beacons are provided.

  • Decomposed Algorithm for Spacecraft Attitude Estimation in Stellar
           Correction Mode

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: The paper discusses the problem of a spacecraft attitude estimation and its solution by integrating the measurement data from an information-redundant gyro unit and a stellar navigation system. The traditional solution methods are based on the use of Kalman filter of n + 3 order, where n > 3 is the number of measurement channels (gyroscopes or angular rate sensors). The numerical implementation of the corresponding algorithm on an onboard computer requires significant computational burden. To considerably reduce the computational complexity of the algorithm without losing the accuracy, it is proposed to use a method of decomposing the filter of n + 3 order into three filters of the second order and n − 3 filters of the first order.

  • Rapid Re-Convergence of Real-Time Dynamic Precise Point Positioning by
           Adding Velocity Constraints

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: — In challenging environments like urban vehicle navigation and geological hazards, the GNSS signals are easily blocked, and the long re-convergence time seriously limits many applications of real-time dynamic precise point positioning. Considering that the velocity accuracy is better than the position during re-convergence epochs, we proposed a real-time rapid-positioning method by introducing velocity constraints into the dynamic PPP. According to the different motion states and environments, different velocity constraints are used adaptively. For example, the zero-velocity constraint model is used in the stationary state; the Doppler-velocity constraint model is used when the most visible satellites are temporarily blocked; the other-sensors-velocity constraint model is used when the satellite signal is blocked frequently. Considering that the inaccurate dynamic model will affect the dynamic positioning results, the velocity constraint can be gradually relaxed after the GNSS signals are reacquired and the ambiguity gradually converges. Based on static and kinematic experiments with GPS data, the results show that when the number of visible satellites is greatly dropped due to signal blocking, the new positioning method can significantly speed up the re-convergence of precise point positioning, maintain high accuracy and improve the continuity of real-time dynamic positioning in a short time.

  • New Results of Estimation of Modern Global Ultrahigh-Degree Models of the
           Earth’s Gravity Field in the World Ocean

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: — With the increase in accuracy and resolution of modern global models of the Earth’s gravity field, more opportunities have appeared to use them in solving the regional gravimetric problems. At the same time, the estimates of existing models depending on the region and geomorphology, as well as methods for predicting the reliability of data in models, taking into account the scale and nature of the problem being solved, become more important. The article is devoted to new estimates of modern models of the gravity field in various regions of the World Ocean and over various geomorphological structures. The estimates were obtained by comparing the data of the most relevant models of the gravity field with the data of high–precision marine areal and route surveys carried out in all major areas of the World Ocean. Based on the results, the model field is promising and it is possible to estimate the spatial distribution of model field errors in the World Ocean. A method for efficient preliminary zoning of a model field in the ocean is proposed. The features of the development of the Earth’s gravity field models are considered, taking into account their actual accuracy and resolution, as well as the issue of general reliability of modern model data in the high-latitude Arctic.

  • ARAIM Availability of BDS-2 and BDS-3 in the Global LPV-200 Approach

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: — With the addition of multi-frequency and multi-constellation systems, the Advanced Receiver Autonomous Integrity Monitoring (ARAIM) algorithm is expected to provide a global vertical and horizontal guidance for the localizer performance of vertical guidance (LPV)-200 approach phase in aeronautical navigation worldwide. Currently, the second and third generations of the BeiDou navigation satellite system (BDS-2 and BDS-3) provide their services to users. We consider ARAIM for dual-frequency iono-free BDS pseudorange combinations. With the aim to improve the service performance of the BDS-2 and BDS-3 systems, the assumed integrity support message (ISM) was used to calculate the vertical protection level (VPL) for the LPV-200 approach. The impact of the different parameters of ISM on the ARAIM availability was evaluated. The results demonstrate that, compared with BDS-3, the global coverage of availability for BDS-2+BDS-3 is slightly higher, mainly due to the increase of the number of visible satellites. The availability of BeiDou in the Americas is affected by user range accuracy (URA). With URA decreasing from 2.0 to 0.5 m, the ARAIM availability of BDS-2+BDS-3 in the Americas increased from 50 to 99.9%.

  • Precise Calibration of Strapdown INS Using Low-Accuracy Turntables

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: A method for calibration of strapdown inertial navigation systems (SINS) is proposed which combines the advantages of the approached based on the application of the Kalman filter, on the one hand, and estimates of changes in specific force in the horizon plane before and after rotation of the turntable, on the other. In contrast to the known methods of SINS calibration that take into account the changes in the horizon components of acceleration with a model measurement matrix in iterative calculations of corrections to biases, scale factors, and misalignments of accelerometers and gyroscopes (hereinafter called gyros), the approach described in this paper uses actual rotations and positions of the SINS with account for previous iterations rather than SINS uniaxial rotation angles and positions specified to a turntable. The same experimental data were used to compare the proposed method with the one using the model measurement matrix. The results have shown that the overall error of the SINS calibrated by the proposed method is less than in the other case; in addition, the number of required iterative refinements is less. The proposed method allows navigation-grade SINS to be calibrated on low-accuracy turntables, with proper consideration for the inaccuracy of the SINS inertial measurement unit (IMU) rotation in shock absorbers.

  • Multiple AUV Navigation without Using Acoustic Beacons

    • Free pre-print version: Loading...

      Abstract: Autonomous bottom sensor networks are increasingly used to collect various data near the sea bottom. Transmitting these large accumulated data arrays to the data collection and processing center is a pressing problem. A promising method to retrieve data from sensor nodes is to use multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). The quality of underwater mission performance is then determined by accurate navigation of each vehicle within the group. The article presents a new efficient method of multiple AUV navigation for performing the vital task – servicing the autonomous network of bottom sensor stations. The method requires neither beacons of long baseline acoustic navigation system (LBL ANS) nor surface vehicles. During the mission, some AUVs are moving to the target sensor nodes, while the others are docked to the sensor nodes, read out the accumulated data, and perform the maintenance procedures (battery recharging, state diagnostics, and correction of the mission program). The main idea of the method is that the AUVs docked to the sensor nodes function as temporary stationary beacons of the differential ranging (DR) ANS for the other moving AUVs. The algorithms of the proposed navigation method are considered.
