Abstract
Position, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) is a critical capability that has become indispensable to the United States military, government services, and the commercial sector. This paper presents a method for distributed localization in Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) without GPS. Traditional INS incur integration drift error over operationally relevant times scales, but this drift can be reduced by using a nonlinear filter to compute the joint state p(x vertical bar z) of all agents in the network subject to range measurements z between pairs of agents. The goal of this work is to increase the localization accuracy of each agent's position, velocity, and orientation. To compute the joint state, which includes cross correlations between agents, agents share their inertial measurement unit (IMU) measurements and exchange range measurements at some specified frequency. Tracking the cross correlations between agents allows full utilization of the range measurements via a nonlinear filter, which allows flexibility regarding each agent's sensor configuration and any additional sensor inputs. In this paperwe formulate this method, demonstrate its effectiveness with simulations that use hardware-in-the-loop (HWIL) IMU and range measurements, and investigate the effect of dropped IMU and range measurements on final localization accuracy. Our results show that errors incurred by dropped IMU measurements can be ameliorated by inflating the process noise covariance matrix, and that up to 90% of range messages can be dropped without degrading performance with respect to a baseline. Finally, we also present network communication analyses for IMU measurement broadcasts and range messages. The HWIL data used in these simulations was collected during field experiments conducted by Raytheon BBN Technologies.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
