Abstract
Systems for multi-mode receiver (MMR)-based inertial integration of position solutions replace expensive IRUs with lower-grade but high-performance inertial sensors and GNSS-assisted MMRs, collecting inertial position data indicative of an aircraft position and integrating the inertial data with georeferenced position data within the MMRs. The inertial sensors may include microelectromechanical attitude and heading reference systems capable of generating coasted position solutions based on secondary inertial data and integrated with georeferenced data when it is available. The coasted position solutions may be used as a standby alternative to primary integrated solutions, or serve as an additional primary position solution.
