An intelligentized and fast calibration method of SINS on moving base for planed missiles

Abstract In order to minish the error of inertial sensors, the technology of neural networks is attempted to on-line calibration of a slave inertial navigation system mounted on planed missiles. Based on the time-varied specialty of slave inertial navigation system on a moving base, an input–output sample structure method is proposed, and to automatically calibrate and revise the error of inertial sensors of inertial navigation system. When a missile is appended under the wing and in free-flight, in order to solve the inconsistent problem of measurement's character of the inertial sensors, the error angles between the master inertial navigation system and the slave inertial navigation system are estimated in advance, then, the input samples of a neural network can correctly simulate the free-flight state. Furthermore, in order to make a learning algorithm of neural networks can satisfy real-time calibrating on a moving base, the traditional Newton algorithm is improved by using first differential coefficient to replace the approximate matrix of second differential coefficients. As a result, the training speed and precision of neural network are enhanced. The simulation results indicate that the method and algorithm are feasible.
