8:30 - 12:00, Tuesday, String 2
240A:
Tightly Coupled INS/GPS
Integration

Back to main tutorials page

 
For technical professionals seeking an introduction to INS/GPS integration using the tightly coupled approach. Basic Kalman filter theory is covered and applied to GPS aiding of an inertial navigation system. The benefits of GPS receiver aiding by the INS in dynamic and interference environments are derived and analyzed.

Dr. Alan Pue
John Hopkins University/APL

Kalman Filter Fundamentals
• Kalman filter algorithm
• Filter processing example
• INS application

 

Tightly Coupled INS/GPS Design
• Measurement processing
• Filter design and tuning
• Navigation system update

 

INS Aiding of GPS Receiver Tracking
• Code and carrier tracking
• Track loop design trades and examples
• Interference suppression

 

Level: Basic matrix theory and general knowledge of GPS. This course is intended to prepare you for Course 240B which requires an understanding of Kalman filtering and INS integration concepts as prerequisites.

 

1:30 - 5:00, Tuesday, String 2
240B: Ultra-Tight, Deep  Integration of GPS/INS

Back to main tutorials page

 
Using a waveform estimation-theoretic approach, this course develops architectures approaching theoretical limits for the GPS signal-in-space. Fundamental observation/dynamical models are described, leading to practical integrations and augmentations for high dynamics, signal blockages and jamming. Modeling, simulation and case study approaches are emphasized.
