ABSTRACT:
The assured-integrity monitored-extrapolation (AIME) navigation apparatus selectively utilizes measurements provided by ancillary sources at periodic intervals in determining the state of the platform on which the apparatus is mounted. The measurements have attributes which are measures of quality, quality being a measure of the usefulness of the measurement in accurately estimating the state of a platform. The AIME apparatus makes its selection of measurements for state determination on the basis of estimates of the values of these quality attributes. The determination of the quality of a time sequence of measured values of a particular quantity requires an evaluation time for its accomplishment. The AIME apparatus therefore determines the platform's state in two phases. It obtains highly-accurate determinations of the states of the platform at times prior to present time minus the evaluation time by using the quality measures available at these times and using only those measurements that are determined to be of high quality in the determination of state at these times. The platform state at present time is then obtained by extrapolation of the highly-accurate state at time minus the evaluation time using measurements whose quality is more uncertain.
