The inertial measurement unit based on the atom interference gyroscope is the core component of the quantum inertial navigation system. The angular motion information collected by the atom interference gyroscope is output in the form of phase and cannot be directly used for inertial navigation calculation. It needs to be multiplied by the scale factor to convert into the angular velocity required for navigation before the inertial navigation calculation can be performed. The calibration accuracy of the axis vector direction of the three-axis rotation of the inertial sensitive unit and the scale factor size directly determines the navigation and positioning accuracy.

[0021] The scale is that the inertial navigation sensitive unit based on cold atom interference gyroscope is installed on an optical platform, the base is parallel to the horizontal plane, the base is rotated to different angle values along the vertical direction and stopped, after the turntable is in the static state and the cold atom interference gyroscope is stabilized, the computer sampling program is started respectively, and the output phase values of the cold atom interference gyroscope are recorded .

[0022] The earth rotation angular velocity Ω earth The projection of the skyward axis of the geographic coordinate system at the local latitude L is Ω earth ⋅sinL, and the projection of the northward axis is Ω earth ⋅cosL; according to the angle θ north between the atomic interference gyroscope axis and the north direction and the angle θ raman between the atomic interference gyroscope axis and the horizontal plane, for the cold atom interference gyroscope placed horizontally, the angle between the atomic interference gyroscope axis and the horizontal plane is zero. According to the angle θ north between the atomic interference gyroscope axis and the north direction and the angle θ raman between the atomic interference gyroscope axis and the horizontal plane, in the inertial measurement unit, according to the orthogonal installation mode of the three-axis cold atom interference gyroscope, the angle between the atomic interference gyroscope axis and the horizontal plane can be obtained according to the physical structure, and thus the earth rotation angular velocity Ω earth can be obtained earth ⋅cosL⋅cosθ north ⋅sinθ raman +Ω earth ⋅sinL, and the excitation of the corresponding earth rotation angular velocity to the three axes of the cold atom interference gyroscope Ω x ,Ω y ,Ω z can be calculated, and by using least square fitting, the scale factors F x , F y , F z of the three gyroscopes in the inertial measurement unit can be obtained simultaneously.
