A Kalman Filter Application to the Advanced Tactical Inertial Guidance System of the Air-Launched Low Volume Ramjet Cruise Missile.

Abstract

A Montecarlo simulation is conducted to ascertain performance of the ATIGS system is a proposed air-launched cruise missile configuration. The simulation is conducted within a local-level inertial frame consisting of down-range, cross-range and up as primary reference vectors. Efforts are made to measure the relative effects associated with the intended pure position reset provided by a MICRAD sensor as compared with those effects which could be expected from a linear suboptimal Kalman filtering scheme used in conjunction with the MICRAD sensor.
