Flight test results of the Rockwell MIGITS

Abstract

A new standard of lightweight, low cost, integrated GPSANS products has been created with the introduction of Rockwell's family of MIGITSTM (Miniature Integrated GPSANS Tactical System) products. This family takes full advantage of the precision pseudorange and pseudorange rate information available only from an embedded GPS receiver. This information is integrated with inertial data in a single Kalman filter in a synergistic manner which results in superior operation in high dynamic, antenna shading, and jamming environments. As this paper will show, the Rockwell MlGlTS has successfully demonstrated ability to tightly couple a tactical grade IMU with GPS to provide precise navigation operation in a dynamic environment.
