Abstract

For successful operations of an airborne Active Electronically-Scanned Array (AESA) radar, which has various advantages over traditional radar systems, accurate and robust navigation is critical. This paper discusses a study on the performance analysis of an integrated navigation based on the Embedded GPS/INS (EGI) system for an aircraft equipped with an AESA radar. The models for generating the inputs for the GPS/IMU are developed. A navigation filter for a loosely-coupled GPS/IMU system is constructed. Overall navigation performance assessment procedure using a six degree of freedom aircraft simulator - along with the GPS/IMU models and the navigation filter - is introduced. The steps of the performance analysis procedure are explained using a comprehensive case study.

기존 레이다 시스템에 비해 다양한 이점을 제공하는 능동 위상 배열 (AESA) 레이다의 성공적인 운용을 위해서는 정확하고 강건한 항법이 중요하다. 본 논문은 AESA 레이다를 탑재한 항공기의 EGI 시스템을 기반으로 한 통합 항법의 성능 분석에 대한 연구를 소개한다. GPS 및 IMU 입력을 생성하는 모델이 개발되었고, GPS/IMU 약결합 항법 필터가 구성되었다. GPS/IMU 모델 및 항법 필터와 함께 6자유도 항공기 시뮬레이터를 사용하여 항법 성능을 평가하는 절차가 소개되었다. 성능 분석 절차의 단계는 사례 연구와 함께 설명되었다.
