Keywords: kalman filter, mems, sensors integration

The paper describes an AHRS able to achieve a high accuracy level by using a Kalman filter that integrates the measurements coming from low cost inertial sensors, magnetometric sensors and a GPS. The system has to guarantee accurate estimates of attitude in all the operative conditions of high performance aircrafts
