Abstract: For a strap down inertial navigationsystem, the coning error compensation accuracy will be decreased and its real time capability will be worse, whenusing the angular velocity according to the traditional method. In order to solve this problem, a new algorithm was proposed by using the angular velocitydirectly without obtaining the angular increment from the angular velocity through Simpson formula or trapezoid formula. Moreover, the four sample rotationvector algorithm was derived, and the mechanism of the coning error was given. At last, the simulation results of the proposed algorithm and thetheoretical one were compared.
