DESCRIPTION:
This book discusses the physical principles of inertial navigation, the associated growth of errors and their compensation. New chapters on MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) technology and inertial system applications are included.. It draws current technological developments, provides an indication of potential future trends and covers a broad range of applications. Inertial navigation is widely used for the guidance of aircraft, missiles ships and land vehicles, as well as in a number of novel applications such as surveying u

Michael Plante said Lots of good reference material. This book has the most comprehensive breakdown and analysis of the principles and modeling of accelerometer and gyro technologies I've seen in a book yet, though there are already some very good books on stable platform products. There's also a wealth of information on various coordinate systems used in the vicinity of Earth. While an entire chapter is devoted to MEMS, it would seem that the mechanization material (as well as alignment) is geared towards higher-end devices, in that ma. clear explanations of a complex subject Ted Despite covering a wide range of complex subjects, the explanations in this book are clear. This book played a key role in my understanding of INS systems, and I highly recommend it to others.. A solid introduction to Strapdown INS John W. Erickson A good introduction from the ground up. Concepts were easily conveyed to the reader. I'm much more comfortable with strapdown systems after reading this book.
