An data fusion algorithm of improving vertical positioning accuracy based on GPS/barometric altimeter is introduced in order to ensure an airplane fly precisely over an assigned
and endow it with the ability of precision approach and landing in complicated weather condition.This data fusion algorithm using Kalman filtering accomplish data fusion of GPS/barometric altimeter.An adaptive federated Kalman filtering model for GPS/barometric altimeter integrated navigation system is established by means of kinetic vector model of airplane
location error model of GPS
this data fusion algorithm is deduced in detail.simulation results demonstrated that the algorithm is efficient in improving vertical positioning accuracy
reliability
adaptivity and real-time processing rate
improves safety and reliability of airplane in the process of near-enter
and satisfy landing requirement of civil aviation.
