Autonomy is a significant element of advanced space activity, the key technology for which is hybrid navigation. A description is presented of the GPS-INS-STAR hybrid navigation system, which a feasibility study has shown to be a highly promising navigation system. Field tests of various navigation systems were carried out, including the GPS-INS-STAR hybrid navigation system installed on a van-type vehicle. A comparison of the test results determined that only the GPS-INS-STAR system meets the conditions which define autonomy, and that the design method is applicable to the development of practical hybrid navigation systems. The paper also introduced the on-board applications of hybrid navigation in an orbital maneuvering vehicle and a space plane. (Copyright (c) 1989 Toshiba Corporation.)
