This paper presents the heading determination technique with the concept of DLR maritime PNT Unit. By analyzing the characteristics of individual existing heading sensors, a sensor-fusion based heading-determination system according to the concept of DLR maritime PNT Unit is introduced. This system improves the accuracy as well as the continuity of the heading and attitude results compared to the individual sensors. The preliminary results from a measurement campaign are presented to evaluate the performance of individual sensors and the PNT Unit. I.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
