Seminatural development of multiposition inertial satellite navigation systems built around fiber-optic and micromechanical sensors

Basic features of the construction and use of multiposition strapdown inertial navigation systems (MSINSs), which are built around sensors having different operating principles are considered. New properties of the above MSINSs, which are connected with their unification into a single structure are justified. The possibility for the raising of both their accuracy characteristics and their reliability characteristics is shown. The proposed approaches to the realization of such a possibility for the MSINSs rely on majority schemes of stochastic monitoring and on the optimization of the structure of distributed sensors.
