Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Inertial navigation equations are developed which use area navigation (RNAV) waypoints and runway references as coodinate centers. The formulation is designed for aided inertial navigation systems and gives a high numerical accuracy through all phases of flight. A new formulation of the error equations for inertial navigation systems is also presented. This new formulation reduces numerical calculations in the use of Kalman filters for aided inertial navigation systems.

Download or read book MECHANIZATION EQUATIONS FOR A SCHULER TUNED INERTIAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM VERTICALLY ALIGNED TO THE MASS ATTRACTION GRAVITY VECTOR written by and published by . This book was released on 1963 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A navigation scheme is investigated that uses a Schuler-tuned inertial platform that is maintained orthogonal to the mass-attraction gravity vector. The expressions for platform acceleration and velocity are developed, and a mechanization to achieve navigation is determined. Results indicate that an inertial platform that is not torqued in the vertical axis can be readily mechanized to seek a mass-attraction vertical and to accomplish navigation on earth.

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.

This book was released on 2007-03-05 with total page 416 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An updated guide to GNSS and INS, and solutions to real-world GPS/INS problems with Kalman filtering Written by recognized authorities in the field, this second edition of a landmark work provides engineers, computer scientists, and others with a working familiarity with the theory and contemporary applications of Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), Inertial Navigational Systems (INS), and Kalman filters. Throughout, the focus is on solving real-world problems, with an emphasis on the effective use of state-of-the-art integration techniques for those systems, especially the application of Kalman filtering. To that end, the authors explore the various subtleties, common failures, and inherent limitations of the theory as it applies to real-world situations, and provide numerous detailed application examples and practice problems, including GNSS-aided INS, modeling of gyros and accelerometers, and SBAS and GBAS. Drawing upon their many years of experience with GNSS, INS, and the Kalman filter, the authors present numerous design and implementation techniques not found in other professional references. This Second Edition has been updated to include: GNSS signal integrity with SBAS Mitigation of multipath, including results Ionospheric delay estimation with Kalman filters New MATLAB programs for satellite position determination using almanac and ephemeris data and ionospheric delay calculations from single and dual frequency data New algorithms for GEO with L1 /L5 frequencies and clock steering Implementation of mechanization equations in numerically stable algorithms To enhance comprehension of the subjects covered, the authors have included software in MATLAB, demonstrating the working of the GNSS, INS, and filter algorithms. In addition to showing the Kalman filter in action, the software also demonstrates various practical aspects of finite word length arithmetic and the need for alternative algorithms to preserve result accuracy.

Download or read book A New Concept in Strapdown Inertial Navigation written by John E. Bortz (Sr.) and published by . This book was released on 1970 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In conventional strapdown inertial navigation systems, the coordinate transformation matrix differential equation is integrated in the computer of the system. This computation typically requires 30 to 60 percent of the time budget of the computer. A method is presented in this report for significantly reducing the digital computation burden through the use of hybrid computational techniques. Analog correction signals for the non-commutativity phenomenon are fed onto the gyro torque generators causing the gyros to integrate a vector differential equation in the rotation vector argument of the coordinate transformation matrix. The coordinate transformation matrix is then merely evaluated as a matrix function of the rotation vector argument. A 20 to 1 reduction in the digital computer time budget can thus be realized.
