    In modern military applications, the main function of long-range missiles is to accurately strike pivotal military targets, which makes guidance precision a chiefly performance measure of missiles. Nowadays, the central inertial instruments used for long-range guidance weapons interiorly and overseas is inertial navigation platforms(INPs). The INP frame could rotate the inertial measurement unit(IMU) to realize self-alignment and self-calibration before missiles launching. During the flight of missiles, the INP stabilize the IMU in inertial space to improve the accuracy of inertial instruments by isolating the angular motion, which makes INPs become most preferred inertial instrument for long-range guidance system. Domestic INP technology has been developing since 1960s, and has experienced the development of ball bearing gyroscope platforms, air-floating gyroscope platforms, dynamically tuned gyroscope platforms, liquid-floating gyroscope platforms, and three-floating gyroscope platforms. At recent, the new types of long-range missile mainly adopt three-floating gyroscope INPs based on three-floating gyroscopes and gyroscope accelerometers. The key technologies of three-floating gyroscope INPs include sub-micron machining and assembly of special materials, high-reliability three-floating inertial instrument technology against high overload environments, inertial/astronomical integrated guidance, and INPs self-alignment and self-calibration technology. In recent years, the engineering application precision of novel inertial instruments, represented by optical gyroscopes and hemispherical resonator gyroscopes has gradually improved. Based on the INPs stability control technology, constructing novel structures of INPs using new types of solid-state gyroscopes will rapidly promote the development of domestic long-range weapons. By analyzing the technical advantages of fiber optical gyroscopes, hemispherical resonator gyroscopes and other novel inertial instruments, considering the performance requirements for miniaturization, digitalization, and intelligence of the future guidance systems, several suggestions are proposed to develop domestic INP technology.

    Due to the fact that satellite navigation systems can not penetrate physical obstructions and are susceptible to be interfered, and the accumulation of errors in inertial navigation systems are prone to diverge, traditional inertial/satellite integrated navigation systems are increasingly difficult to meet the needs of navigation accuracy, so multi-sensor integrated navigation system arises at the historic moment and develops continuously. In multi-source navigation system, how to fuse the data of different sensors efficiently and reliably is the core of the system. In engineering practice, the federated Kalman filtering is the most common method. However, it is not able to handle asynchronous heterogeneous aperiodic signals and nonlinear problems. Recently, a increasing more attention has been focused on the factor graph algorithm. Therefore, the application of factor graph in multi-source integrated navigation system and the future development direction are summarized.

    There is great amount of noise in the point cloud data acquired by single photon lidar, which brings challenges for data processing. Firstly, based on the local distance statistics, an improved point cloud de-noising algorithm is proposed to de-noise the original point cloud data of single photon lidar. Then, based on the statistical analysis method, an improved point cloud filtering algorithm is proposed to filter the de-noised point cloud data. The ground point cloud obtained after filtering algorithm is compared with digital terrain model(DTM) obtained from traditional lidar for quantitative evaluation of filter results. Calculation results show that the RMSE between MABEL ground point cloud and traditional lidar is 2.98m, and the correlation coefficient is 0.9938. Furthermore, linear digital elevation model(DEM) is obtained through interpolation of ground point cloud, the RMSE between linear DEM and traditional lidar is 2.85m and the correlation coefficient is 0.9931. Experiment results showed that single photon lidar point cloud processing results has a good correlation when compared with DTM data from traditional lidar. Thus, single photon lidar can provide accurate topographic information.

    According to the operating speed and temperature range, aerospace bearings can be lubricated by solid, oil or grease lubricant. Aerospace bearings work under light load conditions, and the failure is generally due to the film breakdown caused by lubricant loss and degradation, and the increased wear lead to the loss of bearing accuracy. The expectancy during the bearing service period is the accuracy life, also called wear life. The failure factors, failure criteria, wear life model, accelerated life test and the residual life prediction based on performance degradation are summarized in different lubrication conditions. The shortcomings of the current study are summed up and the points need for attention and further research are put forward.

    The atomic antenna is constructed using the room temperature Cesium Rydberg atom. The response characteristics of the atomic antenna to radio frequency(RF) signals in 30MHz~40GHz are explored. In the experiment, the Rydberg atom is prepared by 852nm and 509nm two-photon excitation scheme. The electromagnetic induced transparent(EIT) spectroscopy is employed to sense the RF wave. The broadband RF wave response characteristics of 66S1/2, 66D5/2 and 76D3/2 Rydberg states are investigated. It is found that the measurement signal in the region of near dipole resonant RF field is strong, but weak in the far from resonant region, where the measurement is mainly realized by AC Stark shift. The system achieves a sensitivity up to -110dBm/Hz±2dBm/Hz, and the linear dynamic is 40dB. Among them, 66S1/2 and 66D5/2 Rydberg states have a detection insensitive area at 30GHz. The dipole resonance transition of 76D3/2 quantum state is evenly distributed in the range of 30MHz~40GHz, and no obvious insensitive area in the experiment.

    In swimming posture measurement, due to the absorption and refraction of various signals by water, sensors relying on external information can not provide accurate information. Inertial technology is suitable for swimming posture measurement because it does not rely on external information. Inertial attitude measurement needs the initial value provided by the initial alignment technology to calculate the attitude in the process of swimming. However, the take-off time of swimmers is uncertain, and the traditional initial alignment algorithm takes a long time to get a high-precision result. In order to solve this problem, a fast alignment method based on Mahony algorithm is proposed, which uses MEMS nine-axis inertial measurement unit to collect information. The attitude angle is calculated through angular velocity information, the horizontal attitude angle is corrected by acceleration information, and the yaw angle is corrected by magnetic field strength information. The multi-source information is fused by complementary filtering method, so as to quickly obtain the initial value of inertial attitude measurement. Laboratory experiments show that the horizontal accuracy of attitude angle can reach the minute of arc level within 3s, which meets the requirements of swimming. The feasibility of the algorithm is verified by the test in the actual motion scene.
