Since its first inception in the 1960s, the Kalman filter has been commonly used to this day for guidance and navigation applications. It has undergone many adjustments designed to improve upon the basic implementation, such as the Extended KF or Unscented KF. In recent years however, a new approach to filtering based on Artificial Intelligence Neural Network (ANN) processing has made significant breakthroughs that has pushed the inertial navigation industry into a new era.

Advanced Navigation has been awarded one of the first Moon to Mars Supply Chain Capability Improvement grants by the Australian Federal Government.  Advanced Navigation in partnership with Q+CTRL will create a world-first quantum-enhanced inertial navigation solutions for space launch vehicles, satellites and landers. The design of this inertial navigation technology for long-endurance space missions will be pivotal to NASA’s space exploration initiative, the Artemis Lunar Exploration Program.

  HEADING SOURCES   This white paper describes the different methods used to determine heading in navigation when using an Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) or an Inertial Navigation System (INS) and recommends an appropriate heading source based on typical application requirements. These are indicative but should be evaluated fully for individual applications.
