Fundamentals of Inertial Navigation Systems and Aiding - (Radar, Sonar and Navigation) by Michael Braasch (Hardcover)

About the Book

This book provides an advanced introduction to inertial data processing along with design architectures and algorithms used to aid inertial navigation systems. The emphasis is on the high-end sensors and systems used in aerospace applications, but material is also included that provides an overview of low-cost sensor data processing.

Book Synopsis

Inertial navigation systems (INS) are modern technologically sophisticated implementations of the age-old concept of dead reckoning. The basic philosophy is to begin with a knowledge of your initial position, keep track of speed and direction, and thus be able to determine position continually as time progresses. It is used in widely in aircraft and space navigation systems, but also increasingly in GPS style navigation applications for drones, mobile phones, fitness trackers etc
