Abstract

A navigation system includes a Kalman filter to compensate for bias errors in inertial sensing elements. An observed pitch, roll or heading change is input to the Kalman filter either from an aiding source or when the navigation system is in a known condition. The Kalman filter generates a correction signal that is provided to the navigation computation system.
