Abstract: The invention relates to a method for aligning an inertial navigation system borne by a static or quasi-static carrier, wherein: a plurality of alignment processes that are dimensioned for a plurality of amplitudes of movements of the carrier are implemented simultaneously with different alignment observation durations; a minimum observation duration that corresponds to the alignment observation duration for which the consistency of the alignment information obtained by means of alignment processes dimensioned for a given movement amplitude of the carrier is determined; and the alignment information is determined depending on alignment information determined for this minimum observation duration. The invention also relates to an associated inertial navigation system.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a method for detecting parasitic movements during static alignment of an inertial measurement unit (3), the method being characterised by steps of: receiving radio navigation measurements acquired (100) by a receiver (1) from signals previously transmitted by a set of radio navigation satellites (S), estimating (260) a movement of the inertial measurement unit from the acquired measurements, comparing (280) the estimated movement with a predefined threshold, indicating (290) a parasitic movement of the inertial measurement unit when the movement crosses the predefined threshold, in which the estimation (260) of the movement of the inertial measurement unit (3) from the acquired measurements comprises the following steps, implemented by the data processing unit for each satellite: calculating (262) a position variation from a phase of a first radio navigation signal transmitted by the satellite and received by the receiver at an initial reception time, and from a phase of a secon

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for controlling the integrity of the value of a piece of navigation information delivered by a merging/consolidation device including a plurality of processing modules. Each module generates a navigation solution from measurements coming from one or a plurality of separate navigation devices, which involves defining, for each processing module, a radius of protection, corresponding to a given probability of failure. The method includes defining at least one consolidated area that encompasses protection areas centered on the solution values that are output from the processing modules and that correspond to the radii of protection defined for these modules. The radius of protection of the merging/consolidation device for the probability of failure itself is defined to correspond to the consolidated area.
