The Kalman Filter in Transfer Alignment of Airborne Inertial Guidance Systems

Abstract

The problem of transferring alignment between two airborne inertial navigator platforms is treated using the Kalman filter approach. The important parameters are identified and exercised over a reasonable range to establish accuracy trade-offs. Suggestions are provided for improving the accuracy of Kalman filter transfer alignment through more complex maneuvers of the carrying aircraft.
