An Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is equipped with an Inertial Navigation System (INS) in order to detect its own current position for the autonomous cruise. It has a sensor part and an arithmetical part. The sensor part is composed of three gyros and three accelerometers, and the three-dimensional coordinate system (INS coordinate system) is defined in the arithmetical part. And an accelerometer and a gyro are set on each axis in the coordinate system. The INS calculates AUV's position using outputs of the sensors. So the position accuracy of it depends strongly on the precision of the sensors. However they have drift-bias errors which increase with the passage of the time. So, a method, which applies the rotational motion to the INS, is proposed in order to reduce the errors. In this method, the INS is put on the turntable and the INS is rotated by it around an axis of the INS coordinate system. And the errors of sensors, which are set on non-rotation axis, were reduced on average. This causes the position accuracy improvement. As the experimental results, the position error of the INS is reduced up to four times if suitable methods are given to it.
