Results of the development and experimental studies of the digital magnetic compass system

This article describes the results of improving the quality of the digital magnetic compass system, obtained as a result of theoretical and experimental studies. The Kalman filter algorithm was used to process the noise information of the digital magnetic compass that appears in the device. It is shown that under conditions of uncertainty of the probabilistic characteristics of the noise component when measuring the signal, the Kalman filter algorithm provides an enhanced filtering quality. The results of the studies indicate that the system can meet all standards and can be installed and used on the ship.
