Fundamentals of High Accuracy
Inertial Navigation

Written for  students and engineers, this book covers  physical and mathematical principles which define  INS systems   

 

The text  is divided into three parts: inertial navigation, inertial navigation with aids, and accuracy analysis.

This book is intended for  third- or fourth-year engineering students, as well as professional engineers and scientists trained in mathematics, control theory, analytical mechanics, geodesy, or physics.  It is a valuable text for anyone with  a need to understand  inertial navigation principles. .
