Book Description

This two volume text provides a detailed comprehensive discourse on the analytics of strapdown inertial navigation systems (INS's), the basic technology used on modern day commercial and military aircraft, guided missiles, surface ships and underwater vehicles. Based on his first-hand experience in this field, the author has provided a unique service to the aerospace industry in preparing this technical dissertation on the algorithms implemented in the strapdown system computer, and the analytics (and software) associated with system software validation, system test, simulation, performance analysis, and the analytical design methodology used in deriving the strapdown equations. Included is an in-depth chapter dealing with Kalman filter theory and its application to the aiding of a strapdown INS. Strapdown Analytics has been prepared for the reader who may not have had experience in navigation or Kalman filtering. The book is complicated, yet complete and understandable by analytically inclined college graduate students or practicing engineers. The book can be viewed as the text for an advanced course one might take following the introductory course taught by the author, Introduction To Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems.

Book Description

This book describes the classical smoothing, filtering and prediction techniques together with some more recently developed embellishments for improving performance within applications. It aims to present the subject in an accessible way, so that it can serve as a practical guide for undergraduates and newcomers to the field. The material is organised as a ten-lecture course. The foundations are laid in Chapters 1 and 2, which explain minimum-mean-square-error solution construction and asymptotic behaviour. Chapters 3 and 4 introduce continuous-time and discrete-time minimum-variance filtering. Generalisations for missing data, deterministic inputs, correlated noises, direct feedthrough terms, output estimation and equalisation are described. Chapter 5 simplifies the minimum-variance filtering results for steady-state problems. Observability, Riccati equation solution convergence, asymptotic stability and Wiener filter equivalence are discussed. Chapters 6 and 7 cover the subject of continuous-time and discrete-time smoothing. The main fixed-lag, fixed-point and fixed-interval smoother results are derived. It is shown that the minimum-variance fixed-interval smoother attains the best performance. Chapter 8 attends to parameter estimation. As the above-mentioned approaches all rely on knowledge of the underlying model parameters, maximum-likelihood techniques within expectation-maximisation algorithms for joint state and parameter estimation are described. Chapter 9 is concerned with robust techniques that accommodate uncertainties within problem specifications. An extra term within Riccati equations enables designers to trade-off average error and peak error performance. Chapter 10 rounds off the course by applying the afore-mentioned linear techniques to nonlinear estimation problems. It is demonstrated that step-wise linearisations can be used within predictors, filters and smoothers, albeit by forsaking optimal performance guarantees.
