Multisensor Integrated Navigation System

Joe N. Portney, Ray W. Breslau

Abstract:	The Multi sensor Integrated Navigation System (MINS) is being developed by Litton Guidance and Control as a solution to the ever present problem of providing enhanced accuracy inertial navigation performance at costs generally equated to medium accuracy systems. The MINS is a generalized concept comprised of a medium accuracy Inertial Navigation Unit (INS) that accepts and processes bounding inputs from position and/or velocity sensors singly or in combinations. It is not limited, to a specific application, rather the MINS concept is a viable solution to a variety of diverse system requirements. The first section of this paper discusses the conceptual aspects. Of the MINS. The remainder of the paper concentrates on a specific application to which the MINS concept has been successfully applied. Estimates of. performance derived from simulations for various sensor input configurations will be presented.
