Abstract
The aim of this thesis was to synthesize and evaluate an inertial navigation system (INS) for the Combat Vehicle 90 Platform. The INS that was created utilize sensor fusion in order to combine the different signals coming from the vehicle’s multitude of sensors to estimate the vehicle’s position and heading in some known global reference frame. The CV90 standard INS, the NAV90 system, had performed the task of navigation with an unpredictable behavior due to the fact that it relied on heading estimates from a magnetic compass that is strongly influenced by nearby metallic objects, e.g. other vehicles. It will be demonstrated in this thesis that with a two-axis gyroscope mounted on the weapon’s rotational axis, the position and heading... (More)
