About this title

Synopsis

Inertial navigation is widely used for the guidance of aircraft, ships, missiles and vehicles. This introduction to the system covers basic principles, system mechanics, instrumentation, computation and design analysis. The text features a particularly contemporary treatment of inertial sensors and computational techniques for error analysis. It also describes integrated systems incorporating additional navigational aids and examples of current applications in both civilian and military situations.
