An inertial navigation system for small autonomous underwater vehicles
Young_an_inertial.pdf (540.9Kb)Abstract
A small AUV navigation system (SANS) has been developed at the Naval Postgraduate School. The SANS is an integrated GPS/INS navigation system composed of low-cost, small-size components. It is designed to demonstrate the feasibility of using a low-cost inertial measurement unit to navigate between intermittent GPS fixes. This paper reports recent improvements to the SANS hardware, latest testing results after compensating heading-dependent derivations in the TCM-2 compass measurements, and development of an asynchronous Kalman filter for improved position estimation
