The integrated navigation system ensures maritime autonomous surface ships (MASSs) to safely, efficiently, and autonomously complete various operations in different complex navigation environments. Investigating robust algorithms for integrated navigation is crucial for enhancing the fault tolerance of the system and ensuring the stable and continuous output of the ship’s motion state. However, existing research primarily focused on optimising particular filtering algorithms or examining the foundations of information allocation within a predetermined integrated navigation structure. As such, strategies for enhancing the robustness of the MASS integrated navigation system and the design of subsystems for federated filters in the event of navigation sensor failures have not been sufficiently investigated for complex maritime navigation scenarios. Consequently, this research introduces an observability sharing factor accounting for both system characteristics and state estimation performance in integrated navigation systems, employing nonlinear sampling filtering. Subsequently, a robust integrated navigation framework with distributed federal filter is developed. Within this framework, an adaptive federated filtering integrated navigation algorithm is proposed based on the observability sharing factor to allocate information in federated filtering. Finally, both the theoretical correctness and effectiveness of the algorithm were verified through simulations and real-ship experiments to assist with the development of accurate and fault-tolerant maritime navigation systems.
