The invention provides an aircraft collaborative gravity
navigation system and method, and belongs to the technical field of navigation. The
navigation system is composed of a high-precision distance and direction finding unit, an inertial navigation unit, a global gravity field model
database unit, a positioning calculation unit and a filtering
estimation unit. The specific implementation process of the navigation method comprises the steps of obtaining the relative position between the aircrafts by using distance and direction finding data between the aircrafts, extracting the relative
gravitational acceleration by using polynomial fitting, carrying out positioning calculation based on the relative
gravitational acceleration and the relative position, carrying out Kalman filtering correction by fusing a positioning calculation value and inertial navigation information, and finally obtaining the navigation result. And high-precision autonomous navigation is realized. According to the
navigation system and method, autonomous navigation is achieved only through inertial navigation data and distance and direction finding data between the aircrafts, dependence on
satellite navigation is completely eliminated, and the navigation
system and method are suitable for autonomous navigation of aircrafts such as middle-high altitude long-endurance unmanned aerial vehicles.
