Abstract: In view of the problem that the leader-follower joint navigation scheme relies too much on the absolute navigation and positioning accuracy of the leader node, under the conditions of distributed network-centric warfare (NCW) and to meet the location service accuracy, reliability, and synergy efficiency of the future integrated communication, navigation (ICN), we built a joint navigation and positioning system with low Earth orbit (LEO), airborne data link, and inertial navigation system (INS) as the core; designed a ranging and time-synchronization scheme of the joint navigation and positioning system; and established a joint navigation and positioning method for formation and networking based on mutual ranging and velocity measurement information between aircrafts. Finally, based on the designed LEO constellation, the universality, effectiveness, superiority, and potential superiority of algorithm are verified, respectively. The simulation results show that the scheme can meet the requirements of joint location services in challenging environments, and could be used as a reference scheme for future ICN integration.
