Abstract: The autonomous navigation technology is essential for the automated and intelligent operation of various motion carriers. This article briefly introduces the basic concepts of autonomous navigation technology, and illustrates the research progress of the technology in the fields of aerospace, aviation, ships, vehicles, and individual soldiers at home and abroad. The key technologies for autonomous navigation such as inertial navigation, inertial-based integrated navigation, geomagnetic navigation, gravity gradient navigation, celestial navigation and multi-source information fusion are analyzed. Then, the development trend of the technology is discussed, which can provide reference for the development of various mainstream autonomous navigation systems in China and assistance for the overall design of a variety of autonomous navigation tasks in the future.

Key words: autonomous navigation, inertial navigation, celestial navigation, integrated navigation, multi-source information fusion
