Covariance Analysis For Multi-Source Navigation Architecture, Tristan T. Williams
Covariance Analysis For Multi-Source Navigation Architecture, Tristan T. Williams
Theses and Dissertations
Currently, analysis on navigation systems can be slow and computationally expensive using Monte Carlo approaches. Covariance analysis is a tool that can return trade space analysis results promptly and can be computationally reasonable. This research aims to create a covariance analysis tool in a new navigation framework architecture, PntOS. The creation of this covariance tool is explained in coordination with the tool being used in a few different navigation scenarios with the results. These scenarios include a Doppler LiDAR velocity sensor and magnetic anomaly navigation.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) has proven itself to be the single most accurate positioning system available, and no navigation suite is found without a GPS receiver. Even basic GPS receivers found in most smartphones can easily provide high quality positioning information at any time. Even with its superb performance, GPS is prone to jamming and spoofing, and many platforms requiring accurate positioning information are in dire need of other navigation solutions to compensate in the event of an outage, be the cause hostile or natural. Indeed, there has been a large push to achieve an alternative navigation capability which …
