Review of Potential Applications of Low-Cost GPS/INS for General Aviation

A. Soloviev, F. van Graas

Abstract:	This paper investigates potential applications of low-cost GPS/INS for General Aviation (GA), including: 1) Attitude and Heading Reference System (AHRS) for advanced (perspective) displays; 2) Aiding of GPS code and/or carrier tracking loops with INS to increase the GPS tracking margin by approximately 20 dB to mitigate Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); 3) Short-term continuity through INS aiding during demanding operations such as precision approach and landing; 4) Coasting after the loss of GPS. Expected performance and implementation challenges are summarized for four integration options with the objective to provide a technical assessment of the feasibility of low-cost GPS/INS for demanding aviation requirements.
