The Development Of Evaluation Platform For INS/GPS Integrated Navigation System

Integrated navigation technology is one of the new navigation technologies that developed from 1970s. By processing information provided by two or more than two sub-systems, the integrated system can get more accurate navigation solution. Integrated navigation system is widely used both in military and civil areas due to its adaptability and reliability. However, most institutions make their researches on integrated navigation with theory and practice separated. The normal development systems have little expansibility, simple function, and poor display system and do not have function of data comparison. With the development of integrated navigation technology and software technology, a uniform platform is necessary and will set up a bridge upon theory and practice, with which navigation algorithm can be easily embedded in and evaluated.In this paper, an evaluation platform for INS/GPS integrated navigation system is designed, after doing thorough researches on system development process and analysis of system requirement. The platform is a distributed semi-physical simulation system, designed by Visual C++ on Windows operating system. The platform gives attention to both theory...
