The invention discloses an aircraft-mounted multi-navigation-source comprehensive navigation simulation system. In the system, each navigation simulation sub system really simulates functions, performances and interfaces which are same as those of a model according to a self-navigation principle. A scheduling system responds a display control command, a load command and load data information sent by a mission system, and drives the navigation simulation sub systems to perform simulation calculation with combination of environment simulation data. A combined navigation system, with an INS simulation sub system as a main navigation source, performs integrated navigation based on and fault detection federated Kalman filter with GNSS, TACAN and IFDL as auxiliary navigation sources. Information fusion is achieved through a generalized federated Kalman filter in a two-stage structure constructed through a federated filter algorithm, wherein a main filter performs total information fusion and performs information distribution and information reset to each sub filter. Optimal estimation is carried out to a result of each sub filter through a dynamic information distribution coefficient. Meanwhile, the INS simulation sub system is subjected to closed-loop negative feedback correction through an estimated error by the system.

A method of, apparatus for, and computer-readable medium for rapid, real time kinematics determination requiring lowered information transmission for position updates than traditional RTK systems. Position signals are received from a base station and roving system and a compressed position signal is received from the base station. A position estimate using an integrated method is determined using the received position signals from the base station and the roving system and the compressed position signal from the base station. Ambiguity resolution of the position estimate is enhanced by applying a quality control procedure using derived validation criteria. A second position estimate is derived based on the enhanced ambiguity resolution. Because of the use of the compressed position signal smaller transmissions may be performed at a more rapid rate providing a higher position update rate.

A system, including both an OLTP database and a warehouse database, that is configured to manage the coordination between the OLTP database and the warehouse database. An aspect relates to a combined OLTP and warehouse database which manages duplicate copies, in both the OLTP database and the warehouse database, of data expected to have a relatively high update and query rate. Data which has a low update and query rate is removed from the OLTP database, such that it remains only in the warehouse database. Updates of the duplicate copy data are performed in the OLTP. Periodically, for example every several minutes, data recently changed in the OLTP database is copied to the warehouse database. Queries are optionally primarily handled by the warehouse database, and are supplemented, when necessary, by data from the OLTP database.

The invention discloses a visible light navigation sensor, which employs visible light spectrum bands with different widths and a dual-channel optical system to image different objects to independent areas of a target surface of a same photodetector. The optical system is divided into two independent viewing field channels which respectively image quasars and stars. The photodetector convert images of the quasars and the stars into simulating signal to output. An electrical system processes the stimulating signal and converts to obtain digital images. At last, an image and attitude computing element respectively processes the quasar image information and the stars image information to compute and obtain a quasar center vector, an orbit height and an inertial attitude needed by satellite navigation. The visible light navigation sensor employs the technique of the visible light spectrum bands with different widths, sub-viewing-fields and sub-image-areas to resolve the problem that the photodetector simultaneously images the quasar and the stars on the same target surface. In addition, the visible light navigation sensor has a normal imaging mode and a binning imaging mode.
