Embedded GPS INS. The EGI is in an all-attitude navigation system providing outputs of linear and angular acceleration, velocity, position, attitude(roll, pitch, and platform azimuth), magnetic and true heading, altitude, time tags, and time. When installed in the host platforms in the appropriate configuration, the system provides the navigation functions of the equipment it replaces. It uses vehicle electrical power(28 Vdc), turn-on and mode commands, initialization data, and altitude data, as well as Global Positioning System(GPS) satellite inputs for GPS or GPS/Inertial Navigation System(INS) operation, and is able to track five space vehicles simultaneously. 1, record 1, English, - all%2Dattitude%20navigation%20system

Attitude. The angle between an imaginary line running from the nose to the tail, and the horizontal. The attitude is judged by the level at which the horizon is seen through the canopy. 4, record 1, English, - all%2Dattitude%20navigation%20system

GPS et INS intégrés. Le système EGI est un système de navigation toutes attitudes qui fournit un signal d'accélération linéaire et angulaire, de vitesse, de position, d'attitude (roulis, tangage et azimut de plate-forme), un cap magnétique et vrai, l'altitude, les descripteurs temps et l'heure. Lorsqu'il est installé dans les plates-formes hôtes sous sa configuration appropriée, le système fournit les fonctions de navigation de l'équipement qu'il remplace. Il utilise le courant électrique de l'aéronef (28 V CC), les commandements de mise en marche et de mode, les données d'initialisation ainsi que les données d'altitude de même que les entrées satellites du système de positionnement global (GPS) pour le fonctionnement en GPS ou en GPS/système de navigation par inertie (INS) et peut poursuivre cinq véhicules spatiaux simultanément. 1, record 1, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20navigation%20toutes%20attitudes

This thesis presents a new approach for the initialization process(initial alignment and calibration) of strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems for air launched tactical missiles operating in an unaided inertial navigation mode... The initialization is treated as a training of Artificial Neural Network filter. A new methodology is developed which can handle, misalignment of Inertial Navigation System and scale factor, as well as bias errors of the measurement instruments used in Inertial Navigation System... It is shown that the optimization algorithm employed as well as Artificial Neural Network is quite suitable for Inertial Navigation System initialization. Prelaunch aircraft maneuvers measured by the Inertial Navigation System of the aircraft provide the necessary training data for the Neural Network for the missile navigation system that initializes the missile's inertial navigation system. 1, record 2, English, - inertial%20navigation%20system%20initialization

Alignement et initialisation de la centrale : la deuxième opération consiste à aligner la plate-forme sur les directions stellaires, ou encore aligner les axes plate-forme Xp, Yp, Zp sur les axes absolus. [...] À l'instant initial, cette opération porte le nom d'initialisation de la centrale, et à un instant quelconque on l'appellera asservissement de la plate-forme. Tout repose sur une rotation d'erreur détectée par des «pick off» (détecteurs d'écarts angulaires) placés sur les articulations des axes 1-2-3-4. 1, record 2, French, - initialisation%20de%20la%20centrale

Un des gros inconvénients des centrales inertielles était la nécessité de les recaler (tout comme le conservateur de cap). De nos jours cet inconvénient a totalement disparu dans la mesure où l'initialisation est réalisée automatiquement à partir d'informations issues d'au moins trois satellites ...
