Compared with the strapdown inertial navigation system (SINS), the rotation strapdown inertial navigation system (RSINS) can effectively improve the accuracy of navigation information, but rotational modulation also leads to an increase in the oscillation frequency of attitude errors. In this paper, a dual-inertial navigation scheme that combines the strapdown inertial navigation system and the dual-axis rotation inertial navigation system is proposed, which can effectively improve the attitude error accuracy in the horizontal direction by using the high-position information of the rotation inertial navigation system and the stability characteristics of the attitude error of the strapdown inertial navigation system. Firstly, the error characteristics of the strapdown inertial navigation system and the rotation strapdown inertial navigation system are analyzed, and then the combination scheme and Kalman filter are designed according to the error characteristics, and finally, the simulation experiment shows that the pitch angle error of the dual inertial navigation system is reduced by more than 35% and the roll angle error is reduced by more than 45% compared with the rotation strapdown inertial navigation system. Therefore, the combination scheme of double inertial navigation proposed in this paper can further reduce the attitude error of the rotation strapdown inertial navigation system, and at the same time, the two sets of inertial navigation systems can also enhance the reliability of ship navigation.
