ABSTRACT:
A navigation solution of a navigation system with a Terrain Navigation Module is determined by a procedure including determining a supported position solution and the relative covered path between two height measurements, ascertaining a quality of each active supported position from each active supported position by way of a first quality function, and creating a search area and predetermined positions for each position inside the search area and each relatively stored covered path. The procedure further includes ascertaining a quality of each relatively stored terrain height measurement, and a quality of each reference height, and determining the quality of the position support by a function of all minimum probabilities of all used positions in the search area and supporting the navigation solution ascertained in the Strap Down Module by the navigation filter with the aid of the determined position support and the determined quality of the position support. A navigation system with a Strap Down Module and a navigation filter and a Terrain Navigation Module for determining the navigation solution are also described.
