Magnetic anomaly navigation is gaining popularity as an alternative-navigation system that addresses the challenges of GPS denial. Magnetic anomaly navigation has recently been flight test proven on an F-16 aircraft. The corrupting magnetic environment on this operational platform is 2–3 orders of magnitude larger than previous flight-tests on geo-survey aircraft, while also displaying stochastic drift. The difficult magnetic environment of the platform necessitated a combination of batch and online calibration to obtain accurate navigation solutions. Superiority of the new method is shown in comparison to prior published methods. Real navigation results on the F-16 are shown to obtain accuracies 50% better than these competing methods, with low-altitude results obtaining 59-m distance root-mean-squared errors on 1.5 h flights versus 111 m using batch-only calibrations.
