Inertial navigation computation is to acquire the attitude, velocity, and position information of a moving body by integrating inertial measurements from gyroscopes and accelerometers. Over half a century has witnessed great efforts in coping with the motion noncommutativity errors to accurately compute the navigation information as far as possible, so as not to compromise the quality measurements of inertial sensors. Highly dynamic applications and the forthcoming cold-atom precision inertial navigation systems demand for even more accurate inertial navigation computation. The paper gives birth to an inertial navigation algorithm to fulfill that demand, named the iNavFIter, which is based on a brand-new framework of functional iterative integration and Chebyshev polynomials. Remarkably, the proposed iNavFIter reduces the noncommutativity errors to almost machine precision, namely, the coning/sculling/scrolling errors that have perplexed the navigation community for long. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate its accuracy superiority over the state-of-the-art inertial navigation algorithms at affordable computation cost.
