Abstract
The present disclosure provides an integrated navigation integrity monitoring system for unmanned aerial vehicles, comprising: an inertial measurement unit for providing a processor with zero offset values of different levels of inertial measurement units; a receiver for receiving signals from global satellite navigation and providing the processor with an integrity risk of a global satellite navigation system; and the processor for calculating a horizontal protection level of integrated navigation and a vertical protection level of integrated navigation, setting a horizontal alert limit and a vertical alert limit, comparing the horizontal protection level and the vertical protection level obtained by calculation with the corresponding horizontal alert limit and vertical alert limit respectively, and monitoring the integrity of the unmanned aerial vehicle. An inertial navigation system can be achieved without hardware redundancy, and the cost of integrated navigation integrity monitoring can be reduced.
