Are you a professional engineer or scientist in industry, academia, and government? If you are, then this book is for you. Author Paul D. Groves (Author), has done an outstanding job of writing a second edition of a book that covers navigation of air, land, sea, underwater, and space vehicles, both piloted and autonomous, together with pedestrian navigation.Author Groves, begins by introducing the basic concepts of navigation technology, compares the main technologies, and provides a qualitative overview of the material covered in the body of the book. Next, the author provides the mathematical and physical foundations of navigation. Then, he shows you how the Kalman filter may be adapted for practical use in navigation applications. In addition, the author describes the basic principles of accelerometer, gyro, and IMU technology, compares the different types of sensor, and reviews the error sources. He continues by focusing on the navigation processor. The author then describes commonly used dead-reckoning techniques other than inertial navigation, together with a number of techniques for measuring attitude, height, and depth. Next, he explains the physical principles of radio positioning and discusses the characteristics that are common across the different technologies, both spacebased and terrestrial. Then, he provides an introduction to satellite navigation and describes the satellite signals and orbits. In addition, he describes how GNSS user equipment processes the signals from the satellites to obtain ranging measurements and then a navigation solution. The author continues by reviewing a number of techniques that enhance the accuracy, robustness, and reliability of GNSS.
