      Rover: use EKF velocity for high rate ground_speed updates · 48919b62
      Andrew Tridgell authored
      this may give smoother throttle response when the EKF is enabled

      AP_NavEKF: Add ability to inhibit in-flight mag cal and clean up moding · 925c5751
      priseborough authored
      This will enable in-flight magnetometer calibration to be inhibited unconditionally,
      This is required for long balloon carriage flights where ground speed can be high
      enough to put it into in-air state, but with very poor observability of magnetic field
      states causing bad state estimates and heading offsets to develop over time.
      
      The covariance matrix no longer has rows and columns artificially zeroed when in static
      mode. Instead booleans indicating whether wind or magentic field state estimation is
      active are used to:
      
      a) Set the process noise on these states to zero to stop their variances from increasing
      unchecked when not being updated, and
      b) Turn off updates for these states when measurement fusion is being performed.
      
      This reduces the likelihood of a badly conditioned covariance matrix forming
      during static mode operation.
      
      A filter divergence check has also been added that will declare the filter unhealthy if
      position, velocity and magnetic field observations are all failing their innovation
      consistency checks. This unhealthy status will persist for 10 seconds after the
      condition clears.

      AP_NavEKF: Use baro data during launch transients whilst in static mode · 3026ccee
      priseborough authored
      Baro data can be used as it will still be valid during the launch and
      is not a synthesised measurement.
