Description
This book describes the modern inertial technology used for guidance and control in navigation. Sensors, gyroscopes, chronometers, and accelerometers are specifically addressed in detail and their principles, operation, design, advantages and disadvantages are discussed. An engineer with a vast practical experience in the field, the author elucidates themost recent developments in inertial guidance in the US, Europe, and Japan. Among these are fiber-optic gyroscopes, the satellite-based global positioning system, inertial navigation systems, and solid-state accelerometers. The book should thus be of great interest to researchers and graduate students as well as to system engineers and specialists involved in aeronautics and space research.
