To improve the accuracy of the integrated navigation system INS (Inertial Navigation System)/CNS (Celestial Navigation System)/GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite Systems) integrated navigation system for long-time working
this paper establishes the integrated navigation system state equation and the observation equation based on quaternion errors
and analyzes the observability and observable degree of the system states by applying Piece-Wise Constant System (PWCS) theory for different input conditions. Based on the analysis of the observability and observable degree
using the measurement information of attitude and position vectors from star sensor and GNSS
this paper proposes a method of on-line calibration for the error parameters of gyros
accelerometers and star sensor. The observability analysis and simulation results show that this method can precisely estimate the scale factor
zero
and installation error of gyros
accelerators and star sensor. This method can improve the long-term working accuracy of INS/CNS/GNSS integrated navigation system and has an important engineering application value.
