Abstract
At present, the inertial navigation system (hereinafter referred to as “inertial navigation system” and “INS”) is the core navigation system of the underwater vehicle. However, due to the problem that the positioning error of the inertial navigation system accumulates with the increase of the running time, it is necessary to use other external information to regularly correct the inertial navigation system, that is, auxiliary navigation technology. Gravity-assisted navigation technology uses the sensors installed on the carrier that can accurately measure the earth's gravity field and the accurate earth's gravity field map, and uses modern optimal control theory and methods to regularly determine the position of the carrier. It is one of the technical ways to modify the inertial navigation system, and is especially suitable for underwater vehicles (Zhao, X., & Chen, G. (2020).

The basic principle of the gravity aided navigation system is that the gravity sensor measures the gravity characteristic data in real time during the movement of the carrier; At the same time, the gravity data is read from the gravity map according to the position information of the inertial navigation system. The two data are sent to the matching solution computer, and the matching solution software is used to solve the problem to obtain the best matching position. Using this information to correct the inertial navigation system can suppress the inertial navigation error and improve the navigation accuracy (Moryl, J., Rice, H., & Shinners, S. (1998).

Real time gravity correction of underwater vehicle based on INS. Journal of Wuhan University (Engineering Edition), 37(3), 135−138.). To sum up, the gravity assisted navigation system mainly includes gravimeter, gravity field model and gravity data processing, gravity map matching theory and matching algorithm, and correction theory and method of various system errors. The second chapter focuses on the gravity field model and gravity data processing method. The underwater application is the most important application scenario of gravity assisted navigation. When introducing the specific methods of gravity assisted navigation, the application is gravity. From the perspective of application, this chapter focuses on the moving base gravity sensor, the moving base marine gravity real-time measurement, providing relevant theoretical basis and technical support for the final gravity assisted inertial navigation system (Zhang, H.
