About the paper Full textAbstract
The foundation of autonomous navigation systems (ANS) for vehicles currently relies on strapdown inertial navigation systems (SINS), which can independently determine the vehicle’s movement. However, SINS are effective only on the initial segment of a route; for extended journeys, their readings require correction. This article proposes a concept for the development and application of interference-resistant geophysical navigation systems (SANs), based on the integrated use of SINS and measurements of Earth's gravity and magnetic fields (EGF and EMF). The purpose of developing the Concept was to define the main strategies for advancing the theoretical and experimental bases of integrated geophysical SANs, including ensuring “seamless” navigation, identifying their fundamental and metrological support foundations, and expanding their application areas. Through mathematical modeling, the authors assessed the expected accuracy of integrated geophysical SANs, which was confirmed by tests of prototype systems. Based on these accuracy evaluations, requirements for EGF and EMF meters were established. The study also analyzed current global and domestic capabilities in geophysical SANs and explored the potential use of new EGF and EMF meters, capable of constructing navigation maps and measuring current field parameters onboard vehicles. Special attention was given to the state and potential of high-precision quantum atomic and quantum optical (laser) meters, which possess exceptional capabilities for enhancing measurement accuracy and efficiency. The article presents possibilities for developing and utilizing original space-based onboard measuring devices to create navigation maps in remote regions. All proposed innovations are protected by patents. To support the fundamental infrastructure of SANs, the “Quantum Footstock” geodetic network is proposed, utilizing frequency and time standards with stability ranging from 10⁻¹⁷ to 10⁻¹⁹. The aims to establish a high-precision altitude reference system for the country, including the Arctic region. The article also discusses directions for developing a reference gravimetric base for geophysical SANs. It is proposed to invite key stakeholders from the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Rosstandart, Rosatom, Rosreestr, Roscosmos and other interested agencies to implement the provisions of the Concept.
