Up to now, TERCOM hasn't been used in the gravity matching aided navigation, because of its disability in precise
positioning. So does ICCP, which needs precise initial values, whereas the initial values provided by INS are not
accurate enough. This paper starts from the introduction of the basic principles of TERCOM and ICCP, and compares
their advantages and disadvantages, then incorporates these two methods into a new algorithm in which TERCOM
provides the initial position and ICCP does the precise positioning. At last simulation data is used in the experiments,
with the purpose to shed light on the effect of this new algorithm in gravity matching aided navigation. It is proved that
the new method is precise and needs no initial values. It is very fit for gravity matching aided navigation.
