Simulated Performance Analysis of a Composite Vector Tracking and Navigation Filter [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
This paper presents an alternative GPS signal tracking method which uses an extended Kalman-Bucy filter in place of traditional independent, parallel tracking loops. Furthermore, this method is extended into a combined tracking and navigation filter coupled with inertial aiding. This approach reduces filter design complexity significantly and allows for optimal navigation performance in a variety of conditions. Specifically, the proposed method is demonstrated under high dynamics while experiencing significant levels of jamming. A simulation in a single-axis configuration was used to compare the proposed method to an existing aided fixed-gain method to ascertain the expected level of anti-jam performance as well as immunity to dynamic stress. Results from this simulation indicate a nominal expected positioning performance improvement of 5 meters with improvements of up to 25 meters in some cases. A simulation comparing IMU’s of differing grades was also run to ascertain the proposed method’s dependence upon inertial sensor quality.
