On Inertial-Navigation System without Angular-Rate Sensors

  • Published:
International Applied Mechanics Aims and scope

Operating algorithms for autonomous inertial-navigation systems without angular-rate sensors are outlined. Systems with 6, 9, and 12 accelerometers are considered. Since six accelerometers are sufficient to measure the angular acceleration, using 9 or 12 accelerometers allows improving the accuracy of determining the angular-rate vector. For this purpose, the additional information provided by the extra accelerometers is used. Correction algorithms are presented. It is shown, by way of examples, that such systems may be effective at high angular rates, when using angular-rate sensors becomes problematic
