Course Objectives
- to understand what the inertial navigation system is
- how INS can be used to navigate around
- what kind of errors the system has
- how we can aid the INS for improving the navigation outputs
- which methods we have to aid the INS and get more accurate navigation results.
Course Content
Basic navigation quantities and functions; coordinate transformations and kinematics; a unified inertial navigation analysis applicable to both gimballed and strapdown systems; propagation of bias errors through the system; physics of inertial measurements and measurement error sources; navigation analysis with multiple sensors; Kalman filter estimation; practical navigation problems.
Course Learning Outcomes
- sucessfully modelling the INS sensors
- being able to derive and use the INS mechanization equations
- understanding the essentials of Kalman filtering
- designing an integrated navigation system
