Abstract

To address the limitations of traditional calibration methods for inertial navigation systems in secondary calibration processes, this article proposes a rapid bias calibration method based on integer period rotation using a single-axis servo turntable. The principle of this method leverages the projection characteristics of the Earth's rotation rate and gravitational acceleration onto the horizontal axis to perform circumferential compensation and quarter-period integration. This method can achieve an accuracy comparable to the traditional 12-positions method. More importantly, it demonstrates good applicability to nonlaboratory field conditions as well. It eliminates the dependence of traditional calibration methods on specialized equipment, such as high-precision marble platforms and turntables, and has no orientation requirements. It simplifies the calibration process, improves work efficiency, and demonstrates superior versatility.
