Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of navigation precise speed measurement and positioning, and in particular to a combined navigation method based on single base station spatial difference. Background Art

[0002] Navigation technology is a technology that can provide different platforms such as vehicles, ships and aircraft with relevant motion status information such as position, speed, attitude and time during movement. Due to its close relationship with the safety of different military and civilian carriers in completing specific tasks, navigation technology has become one of the key research areas in recent years.

[0003] At present, manned-unmanned collaborative systems mainly rely on GNSS navigation signals to achieve relative positioning functions, thereby forming the ability of manned-unmanned systems to collaboratively complete common tasks; however, given the technical disadvantages of GNSS navigation signals in terms of concealment, stability and anti-interference, exploring the relative positioning solution of manned-unmanned collaborative systems in a GNSS navigation signal denial environment has become one of the technical problems that urgently need to be solved in military applications in various countries around the world at present and in the future.

[0004] Although the inertial navigation system has become an essential navigation system for most moving vehicles due to its advantages such as complete autonomy and all-weather operation, its method based on dead reckoning will inevitably cause the navigation error to increase with the working time, making it difficult to meet the high-precision navigation requirements when working alone for a long time.

[0005] Therefore, in order to meet the needs of long-duration and high-precision navigation, designers need to seek a combination of other navigation systems and inertial navigation systems; at this stage, the dynamic-to-dynamic relative positioning can refer to the existing GNSS satellite positioning principles and models; GNSS single-point positioning adopts the principle of three-sphere intersection method, and measures the distance from the receiver to multiple satellites through navigation signals, and then calculates the satellite position in combination with the ephemeris to determine the position of the receiver; each member is equipped with a special transceiver, broadcasts continuous information, receives response information from other members to complete ranging, and broadcasts response information after receiving information broadcast by other members; the distance between the two receivers is determined by the time difference between the transmission and return of the ranging signal, and at the same time, each member will broadcast the distance information measured by itself and all other members; through this mechanism, each member can know the distance information between each member, thereby completing relative positioning;

[0006] Based on the principle of moving-to-moving positioning, it is known that if the relative positioning of a three-dimensional space carrier is to be achieved, no less than three mobile base stations are required; this conflicts with the safety and economy in military and civil applications. In addition, the lack of attitude information in the multi-base station solution is not conducive to the acquisition of control information for the platform;

[0007] Therefore, how to achieve high-precision and long-duration navigation based on a single base station under GNSS denial conditions is one of the technical challenges that urgently needs to be solved in current relative navigation applications. Summary of the invention

[0115] The ranging information provided by the single-base station ranging system is only related to the designed ranging principle, carrier wavelength, measurement environment and other characteristics. Since it is independent of the measurement time, it meets the requirement of non-homogeneity with the inertial navigation system error and can be used as an external damping information source for the inertial navigation system.

[0116] Step 1. Under GNSS denial conditions, convert the longitude, latitude and altitude information of the base station and the system to be combined into the xyz coordinates of the Earth-centered Earth-fixed coordinate system;
