Abstract
The paper describes a novel two position alignment procedure on ground for Strapdown Inertial Navigation System. The method makes use of accelerometers and gyroscopes measurements from a standalone INS without any external aiding to obtain higher accuracy of heading angle. This technique mitigates the effect of down-gyroscope bias by solving simultaneous equations for the determination of azimuth. The accuracy is further improved by implementing a linear search to correct the azimuth dithered by the presence of gyroscope bias. The supporting simulation and experimental results are presented. The algorithm can be used in launch vehicle applications where there is a need for higher accuracy of azimuth prior to launch.

Launching vehicle high-reliability aligning control method

TL;DR: In this article, a high-reliability aligning control method for a launching vehicle was proposed, in which the state information of an existing vehicle body of the launching vehicle, such as the transverse levelness and the longitudinal levelness under the ground coordinate system and an erection angle and a revolution angle under a vehicle body coordinate system, were used to calculate the data such as pitch angle of an equivalent launching frame under the Ground Coordinated Coordination System (GCS) and the yaw angle of the revolution platform under the GCS.

Observability Analysis of a Miniature Inertial Measurement Unit on a Continuous Rotating Base

TL;DR: The results show that MIMUs cannot realize self-alignment because of their large heading errors in the static state, and this study provides a method and a theoretical basis for analyzing the observability of MIM Units and evaluating their performance.

Multiposition alignment of strapdown inertial navigation system

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate that the stationary alignment of strapdown inertial navigation system (SDINS) can be improved by employing the multiposition/technique using an observability analysis, and they show that an optimal two position alignment not only satisfies complete observability conditions but also minimizes alignment errors.
