Applied Mathematics in Integrated Navigation Systems (Aiaa Education Series)

From Book News, Inc.
Intended for those directly involved with the design, integration, and test and evaluation of navigation systems, this text/CD-ROM presents elements of basic mathematics, kinematics, equations describing navigation systems and their error models, and Kalman filtering. Detailed derivations are presented and examples and problems are given. Later chapters provide detailed applications and exercises. This second edition includes software and additional background material, exercises, and applications. Background in calculus is assumed. Rogers is an Associate Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR


Book Description
he subject of integrated navigation systems covered in this book is designed for those directly involved with the design, integration, and test and evaluation of navigation systems. It is assumed that the reader has a background in mathematics, including calculus. Integrated navigation systems is the combination of an onboard navigation solution (position, velocity, and attitude) and independent navigation data (aids to navigation) to update or correct navigation solutions. In this book, this combination is accomplished with Kalman filter algorithms. This presentation is segmented into two parts. In the first part, elements of basic mathematics, kinematics, equations describing navigation systems/sensors and their error models, aids to navigation, and Kalman filtering are developed. Detailed derivations are presented and examples are given to aid in the understanding of these elements of integrated navigation systems. Problems are included to expand the application of the materials presented. The second edition includes software, additional background material and exercises, and additional applications. Selected Chapter, Section, and Exercise related software is provided in a companion CD-ROM to enhance the learning experience of the reader. The included software has been developed using MATLAB/Simulink(TM) version 6.5 by The MathWorks, Inc. Additional material includes: integrating navigation aides for a navigation system’s vertical axis; exercises that broaden the scope of problems encountered in integrated navigation systems; and the general problem of attitude determination and estimation whether for terrestrial or space applications. This edition provides a more complete foundation for addressing the different aspects of integrated navigation systems.

Based on a short continuing education course he gives, Florida-based engineer Rogers explains navigation systems that combine onboard navigation solutions such as position, velocity, and attitude, with independent navigation data to update or correct those solutions. He accomplishes the combination with Kalman filter algorithms. The text assumes a solid background in mathematics, including calculus, and is suitable for a graduate or senior undergraduate course in aerospace engineering and related disciplines for students who will be designing, integrating, testing, or evaluating navigation systems. The CiP data shows the ISBN as 1-56347-397-6. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
