Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An evolutionary retrospection reveals the United States Air Force Navigator (known by over 20 duty titles) does not enjoy a homogeneous tradition as a navigator. Further, it reveals training programs which prepared and presently prepare dissimilar aircrew specialists who are not universally assignable navigators. Present duty requirements in 15 weapon systems and all 8 navigation Air Force specialty career fields were analyzed. The results indicated navigator as an umbrella duty title and aeronautical rating is inaccurate, misleading, exclusive, inflexible, outdated. A new umbrella duty title and aeronautical rating is needed for the present and the future. One is recommended which would provide the USAF and the aircrew specialist more flexibility, more accuracy and more room to accommodate future specialization ... Aerospace Flight Office.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite-based navigation system that was originally designed for the U.S. military. However, the number of civilian GPS users now exceeds the military users, and many commercial markets have emerged. This book identifies technical improvements that would enhance military, civilian, and commercial use of the GPS. Several technical improvements are recommended that could be made to enhance the overall system performance.

Download or read book Integrated Navigation and Guidance Systems written by Daniel J. Biezad and published by AIAA (American Institute of Aeronautics & Astronautics). This book was released on 1999 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biezard's pioneering work on the Global Positioning System (GPS) is reflected in the chapters on two types of navigation: GPS and Inertial Navigation System (INS), augmented by discussions of Newton's laws applied to navigation, uncertainty in navigation, and the role of Kalman filters in the integration of aircraft avionics systems. He applies the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics' approach to aeronautical engineering courses by combining interrelated disciplines with computer exercises. The Aided Inertial Navigation Systems software (Windows and DOS) supports the final chapter exercises on error analysis and Kalman filter simulation. Appends discussion questions and web sites.

Download or read book The Precision Revolution written by Michael Russell Rip and published by US Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2002 with total page 584 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since so-called smart bombs debuted in the Vietnam War, precision weapons have been an expected part of modern warfare. While most Americans are aware of the use of these technological wonders, frequently viewing images of pinpoint accuracy on their television screens, few understand how the weapons work. In this very readable explanation, Michael Rip and James Hasik not only clarify the complex technology but chronicle the use of these modern marvels and elaborate on the promises and the pitfalls behind them. At the root of today's precision weapons is the Global Positioning System (GPS) -- the same system used by professional marine and aerial navigators and even by modern hikers, drivers of upscale automobiles, and sailboat owners. The authors remove much of the mystery of this satellite-based system, explaining how it has revolutionized the art and science of navigation and overturned many of the solutions to the age-old problems of targeting. Relevant examples taken from today's headlines demonstrate both the capabilities and the limitations of these weapons. Their use in Bosnia, Kosovo, and the stand-off engagements in the no-fly zones of Iraq make a great deal more sense with this book in hand. Many of the emerging debates spawned by a mandated review of U.S. defense policy are clarified. From the details of the weapons systems and their employment to their political implications, this sweeping analysis of the effects of a revolutionary technology on military operations and strategy is without parallel. A wealth of illustrations help the reader understand how technologies work and fit together, how they are practically used, and what they mean for the future.
