Description
Summary:The paper discusses some achievements in the development of satellite multi-antenna systems which implement the interferometric principle of determining an object attitude. The existing systems are considered, and the authors’ vision of the development trend of these systems in terms of their use in the conditions of poor reception or complete outage of signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) is presented. Information about a new system being developed is given; it is conventionally called a GNSS gyrocompass and represents a combination of a measuring unit based on fiber-optic gyroscopes of tactical accuracy grade, and a multi-antenna GNSS receiver, installed on a rotary base and representing an integrated system of orientation and navigation with a single structure and information functions. The distinctive features of the GNSS compass, which overcome its disadvantages in case of poor GNSS signal, are described against the existing developments. A potential niche for GNSS compass application is also discussed.
