Abstract

A priori information given by the complete modelling of the ballistic behavior of a projectile is simplified to give a pertinent reduced evolution model. This model is composed of quasi-static and dynamic models. An extended Kalman filter is designed to estimate dynamic part of the 3 attitude angles (roll in [0; 2 pi], angle of attack and side-slip in the range of few milliradians) from measures of the magnetic field of the earth given by a three-axis magnetometer sensor embedded on the projectile.The algorithm has been tested in simulation, using realistic evolution of attitude data with measurement noise.
