The combination of Global Navigation Satellite Systems and inertial sensors can achieve extremely high accuracies in position, speed, turn rate, attitude, and acceleration of a flight vehicle. This paper presents the application of AeroNav to flight testing. AeroNav is an Integrated Navigation system, which has been co-developed between Aerodata and the Institute of Flight Guidance of the Technische Universitat Braunschweig. Due to its tight coupling between satellite and inertial sensors it can be used as the basic system for flight performance measurements and handling quality testing. Furthermore it has the potential to meet the accuracy requirements as position reference for autoland certification and ILS/MLS flight calibration. Flight and ground test results are shown, which use an independent position reference for accuracy validation.
