For the rapid response of the aircraft, it is required that the aircraft is not only quick but also chooses the shortest flight routes. The great circle track is the shortest flight route on the earth between any two points, but the great circle track needs to cross the polar region when the aircraft flies over the hemispheres of East and West. Because the polar region has some particularity, such as the landform characteristics, the climatic conditions, and the vast territory, the transpolar aircraft is the key technology of global navigation. This article researched on the algorithm of SINS/GPS integrated navigation system and analyzed the result of simulation when the SINS/GPS integrated navigation system works in the middle- and low-latitude region and the polar region. The result of simulation shows that the working performance of SINS/GPS integrated navigation system is improved and makes use of their respective advantages to overcome the shortcomings. By comparing the result of simulation, the navigation precision is consistent when the SINS/GPS integrated navigation system works in the middle- and low-latitude region and the polar region.
