  • Published:
Gyroscopy and Navigation Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstrast—The purpose of this work is to determine the time difference of transportable atomic clock during motion and to study the accuracy of obtained estimates. The estimates are obtained using the measurements from Global Navigation Satellite Systems and inertial navigation system. Results from autonomous and integrated processing of measurements from two systems are presented. Decrease in time difference error by integration of measurements is quantitatively estimated.
