Fundamentals Of Navigation And Inertial Sensors

Navigation provides information on position, velocity and direction which are needed for travel in ocean, land, air and in space. The myriad forms of navigation developed are collectively called modern navigation. This text discusses new and promising developments that will assist students when they begin their professional careers. It is the product of the authors’ experience in teaching, and research and development in the field of navigation and inertial sensors.The text discusses inertial navigation, inertial sensors, MEMS based inertial sensors, satellite navigation, integrated inertial navigation, and signal processing of inertial sensors and their applications. The chapters introduce topics in an easy to understand manner. Comprehensive references are provided.This textbook is primarily intended to meet the academic needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students of aerospace engineering and avionics.
