In this paper, we investigate the problem of autonomous integrated navigation of strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS)/ celestial navigation system (CNS) for a ballistic missile. To handle the nonlinear missile dynamic model, three filtering methods including extended Kalman filter (EKF), extended Kalman particle filter (EKPF) and unscented particle filter (UPF) are utilized to fusion the integrated navigation system and improve the navigation accuracy. The performance of the navigation system based on the three methods is analyzed and compared. Simulation results indicate that the UPF can provide the highest navigation accuracy with the price of highest computation burden.
