Abstract

The development of Un-manned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) is analyzed, and an integrated MEMS-SINS /GPS/ Pressure Altimeter / Magnetic Compass is presented as an airborne equipment for UAV. In this low cost integrated navigation system, the position and velocity precision can be ensured due to GPS, and the pitch and roll precision can be ensured due to accelerometers. The heading's observability is very weak, in order to eliminate this divergent trend, the method that dead reckoning revises the heading of SINS is put forward. The simulation shows that this method can effectively eliminate the divergent trend of heading.
