Abstract

This paper reviews currently existing fault-tolerant navigation system architectures and data fusion methods used in the design and development of integrated aircraft navigation systems and also compares their advantages and disadvantages. Four fault-tolerant navigation system architectures are reviewed and the associated Kalman filter architectures and algorithms are discussed. These techniques have been used in most integrated aircraft navigation systems. The aim of this review paper is to provide a guide for navigation system designers to develop future aircraft multisensor navigation systems.
