Boresighting Issues for High Accuracy TSPI Sensors
Abstract
For a navigation sensor to accurately report the heading, roll, and pitch of an aircraft, the angular offset between the sensor inertial coordinate system and the aircraft coordinate system, the boresight , must be measured. Errors in the boresight measurements directly affect the accuracy of the navigation sensor product in terms of position, velocity, and attitude angles. This presentation provides a background on boresight needs and proposes methods to measure boresight angles using solids modeling scanning laser systems and point cloud analysis. These methods could significantly increase accuracy and repeatability of boresight measurement as well as reducing the length of time an aircraft must be taken out of service to take the measurements.
