Attitude and Heading angles are crucial parameters for navigation. Conventional navigation methods mostly uses IMU and GPS devices to calculate these angles. MEMS technology offers small sized, low cost IMU sensors with moderate performance. However, GPS cannot be used in underwater. Therefore, different aiding sensors are used in underwater vehicles in order to increase the accuracy. As the accuracy of devices increases, the cost of these devices also increases. In this thesis, rather than using GPS and high quality IMU sensors, low cost MEMS IMU sensor is used together with a magnetometer and a pressure sensor as aiding sensors. Considering the IMU error model and motion dynamics, two systems are designed and simulated using real data. The results seem to be satisfactory and using pressure sensor as an aiding sensor improves the attitude angles estimation.
