Download or read book A Short Course in Inertial Navigation and Missile Guidance written by David A Cicci and published by . This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a short course covering basic and advanced topics inertial navigation and missile guidance. This course is structured to present the fundamental concepts without the in-depth theoretical background and many of the mathematical derivations that commonly accompany an academic presentation of the subject. My intention was to introduce navigation and guidance in a simplified manner to those with no previous background in the field, or to provide a review to those who have studied the subjects previously. Readers should have a familiarity with differential and integral calculus and differential equations to help understand some equations presented. The form of this short course is like the many short courses I've taught at government agencies and private corporations during my thirty-five-year career as a professor of aerospace engineering at Auburn University. It presents the material in a simple outline/bullet format using many understandable figures, rather than using lengthy, detailed explanations with complex mathematical derivations and proofs. It provides the practical equations that are useful to the practicing engineer. The objectives of this short course are to: - Review the navigation, guidance, and control process and the role of inertial navigation. - Discuss the concept and functionality of inertial sensors and their role in inertial navigation. - Present the coordinate systems and coordinate transformation methods used in inertial navigation. - Explain Newton's Second Law and its application to inertial navigation. - Review how the mechanization equations are developed and used in inertial navigation, including gravitational modeling. - Present the sources of navigation errors and how they are mathematically modeled. - Introduce the concepts of GPS-aided inertial navigation systems, along with possible filtering and coupling approaches. - Examine missile modeling techniques and equations of motion used in missile guidance. - Review the fundamentals of missile guidance methods and guidance system models. - Provide an overview and performance comparison of classical guidance laws. - Describe the concept of Linear Quadratic Guidance theory and its use in the development of advanced guidance laws. - Introduce how inertial measurement units can be modeled mathematically. The material presented is usually covered in graduate level course except that there's no required homework, quizzes, projects, computer programs to write, or examinations. I believe that even a novice reading through this material will gain an in-depth understanding of the subjects covered. The material presented is not easy, but it can be enjoyably simple once the fundamentals are understood. To that end, I've attempted to present the difficult concepts as clearly as possible to facilitate that understanding. This short course is part of a series I've developed as a Professor at Auburn University. Others in this series include: Orbital Mechanics, Part I: The Two-Body Problem Orbital Mechanics, Part II: Satellite Perturbations State Estimation and Kalman Filtering: Fundamentals of Orbit Determination David A.

Download or read book Inertial Navigation Components and Systems written by ADVISORY GROUP FOR AEROSPACE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT NEUILLY-SUR-SEINE (FRAN CE) and published by . This book was released on 1973 with total page 413 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of the meeting is to provide up-dated information on inertial navigation component and system progress, and discuss applications and test results realized since the last two meetings held in 1968. The past four years have seen an exponential increase in the use of inertial technology to satisfy military and civilian air navigation requirements, tactical mid-course missile guidance requirements, and a wide variety of transportation systems. During this period, techniques such as strapdown and electrostatically suspended configured instruments have matured and their availability has been conclusively established. There have also been 'unconventional' techniques produced which should be of interest to the community. An important aspect to the review is discussion of concepts and techniques which emphasize the trade-offs dealing with cost versus performance.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Missile Guidance, Second Edition provides a timely survey of missile control and guidance theory, based on extensive work the author has done using the Lyapunov approach. This new edition also presents the Lyapunov-Bellman approach for choosing optimal parameters of the guidance laws, and direct and inverse optimal problems are considered. This material is important for readers working in the areas of optimization and optimal theory. This edition also contains updated coverage of guidance and control system components, since the efficiency of guidance laws depends on their realization. The text concludes with information on the new generation of intercept systems now in development.
