Abstract

Systems and methods for a tightly coupled trajectory predictor with constant up-finding are provided. In certain embodiments, a system includes an inertial measurement unit that provides inertial measurements of a vehicle. The system also includes an up-finding sensor that provides up-finding measurements based on when a portion of the vehicle is pointing up. Further, the system includes one or more processors that bound errors from the inertial measurements in a navigation solution during navigation of the vehicle using the up-finding measurements.
