Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of guided projectile navigation in high dynamic environments, and relates to a guided projectile model / inertial autonomous navigation method and system. Background Technology

[0002] Guided artillery shells are playing an increasingly important role in national security and weapon development. High-precision acquisition of navigation information is a key technology for guided artillery shells to achieve accurate target strikes, as navigation accuracy directly affects the accuracy of the shell's target hit. Because GNSS is a weak wireless signal, satellite signals are easily interfered with by complex environmental factors such as clouds, lightning, and solar storms in natural environments. In actual battlefield environments, satellite constellations are threatened by anti-satellite missiles, laser weapons, and electromagnetic shocks; satellite receivers are susceptible to electronic interference or deception, making accurate positioning impossible. Therefore, the development of guided artillery shells with inertial guidance as their core has become an urgent need in the new era of battlefield environments, particularly under satellite denial conditions. Research on inertial autonomous navigation methods for guided artillery shells in high-dynamic environments is of great significance.

[0003] Research on autonomous navigation of guided projectiles under satellite denial conditions primarily revolves around navigation methods that fuse information from various multi-source sensors. A research laboratory of a certain country's army proposed a multi-source fusion scheme combining accelerometers, gyroscopes, and magnetometers to achieve projectile attitude calculation and motion navigation. In 2015, a certain country launched a precision-robust inertial guided munitions project, developing advanced inertial microsensors to provide stable navigation performance under extreme conditions. Alicia Roux et al. of the Franco-German Institute in Saint-Louis, France, effectively estimated projectile trajectories using EKF and incomplete right-invariant EKF. This method focuses on the research of filtering estimation algorithms, with less analysis of the projectile itself and its environmental characteristics. Recently, Alicia Roux et al. proposed a deep Kalman filtering method, which estimates the trajectory of a projectile in a satellite-denied environment using only a reference magnetic field and an inertial measurement unit consisting of an accelerometer, gyroscope, and magnetometer. This method has achieved good results. However, it focuses on the application of deep learning in the field of Kalman filtering and lacks correlation with the actual projectile motion characteristics and environmental features. Therefore, it does not meet the requirements for inertial navigation accuracy in complex disturbance environments. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problem of insufficient accuracy in inertial navigation under complex disturbance environments, this invention proposes a guided projectile model / inertial autonomous navigation method and system to improve navigation autonomy.

[0005] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this invention is:

[0032] Based on the new information, assess the deviation between the system measurement prediction and the measurement new information, and determine the degree of deviation;
