Abstract

A precise guided system needs an efficient control depending on a precise navigation algorithm, with the ability of getting an accurate initial attitude determination to guarantee the mission success. A navigation system is presented in this paper based on integration between inertial measuring unit and Global Positioning System via Kalman filter approach to satisfy an acceptant accuracy. The two well known Euler and Quaternion attitude determination techniques are implemented to evaluate the body orientation during motion. The carried out system is validated using both simulation data and experimental work. The simulation data is obtained using a six-degree-of-freedom model for a 122mm artillery rocket to obtain all ballistic trajectory parameters during flight. The experimental work is done using a land vehicle taking into consideration the initial attitude determination problem. The results showed high accuracy improvements with high data rates 200 Hz for full state navigation information (position, velocity and attitude).
