The invention relates to the technical field of inertial navigation, in particular to an indexing mechanism angle increment observation-based RINS (Remote
Inertial Navigation System) rapid zero offset
estimation and alignment method, which comprises the following steps: S1, defining a used reference coordinate
system; s2, powering on the rotary
inertial navigation system, resetting the module, and returning the
sky axis to the zero position; s3, a
data acquisition module acquires data output by the k-th frame of
inertial measurement unit and an indexing mechanism photoelectric
encoder; performing attitude, speed and position calculation on the data of the kth frame by using a
data processing computer to obtain an
inertia calculation result of the kth frame; s4, the
data processing computer performs initial alignment of the kth frame; according to the method, the
observability of the zero offset and course angle error of the
sky-direction
gyroscope in the initial alignment process can be remarkably improved, so that the zero offset and course angle error
estimation of the
gyroscope is faster in convergence and higher in precision; and the initial alignment time of the rotary
inertial navigation system can be obviously shortened, the starting preparation time of the carrier is greatly shortened, and the quick response capability of the carrier is effectively enhanced.
