Abstract

With the requirements of high speed, long-range, and large carrying capacity of aircraft in modern flight missions, high-speed aircraft exhibit important research significance in cargo transportation and scientific research. Different from low-speed aircraft, the position, velocity, and acceleration values of high-speed aircraft change very rapidly during flight. Therefore, the navigation problem of high-speed aircraft is a key point that limits its application. In this paper, research results of the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), Inertial Navigation System (INS), and Vision Navigation System (VNS) used to provide navigation information for high-speed aircraft are summarized and compared their advantages and disadvantages. In addition, to achieve more accurate and real-time navigation, the integrated navigation system has become a hot research direction. This paper summarizes the integrated methods based on various traditional navigation methods, such as filtering methods and artificial intelligence-based methods. This paper is expected to provide alternative high-accuracy and easy-to-implement navigation methods for a variety of high-speed aerospace vehicles.
