Abstract

To investigate the observability of gimbled inertial navigation system when the base moves on the basis of piece-wise constant system's observability theory and singular value decomposition, the variation of the singular value in the observability matrix with time is discussed. The simulation results reveal that only if orientation angle is 60° and the flight route is S-figure in initial alignment, the optimal observability is obtained, thus a theoretical foundation for fast and accurate alignment of GINS is provided.
