DIGITAL COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR ERROR ANALYSIS OF INERTIAL-NAVIGATION SYSTEMS

Abstract

The theory and assumption used in developing equations for the error analysis of a general class of inertial navigation systems are described. The computer program developed for their solution is described from a user's point of view. Its application includes the synthesis and/or analysis of inertial navigation systems used in ballistic missile or terrestrial space missions. The program is designed to allow studies of both pure inertial and aided inertial navigation systems, the latter being the process of updating navigation data via data from external sensors.
