Abstract

The design of an integrated navigation system requires that various aspects are taken into consideration. In this paper the aspect of reliability (in the statistical sense) is more closely investigated. A particular measure of reliability, the Minimal Detectable Bias (MDB), is considered. Its use as a design tool for integrated navigation systems is described and is illustrated by an example.
