On the Possible Applications of the DGPS/(LOW-COST-IMU) Technique

Krzysztof K. Vorbrich and J. B. Zielinski

Abstract:	The paper describes certain phases of the preliminary theoretical and experimental work on the Differential GPS integrated with the Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) which has been completed so far within the framework of the European Union Joint Research Project (JRP). The main scientific partners of the JRP are the Institute of Flight Guidance and Control of the Braunschweig University in Germany (IFF-TUBS) and the Space Research Centre, Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw (SRC-PLAS). The paper presents the rationale behind the concept that the main tool of the JRP in Poland should be DGPS integrated with the, Low-Cost IMU, namely with the solid-state Inertial Sensors Assembly (LCISA). The paper goes on to describe the software and hardware components of the DGPS/LCISAThe paper concludes by briefly presenting results from first landbome, airborne and waterborne experiments with the DGPS/LCISA. These experiments provided necessary understanding for the ensuing landbome, maritime and aviation tasks of the JR.
