This course is based on the acquisition of knowledge of navigation systems, primarily inertial navigation and a global positioning system, with the goal that the information derived from the navigation systems can be used trajectory guidance or the path correction.

After this course, the student is trained for independent work in the field of navigation systems and acquires the necessary knowledge to participate in new development projects in this field.

Basics of inertial navigation. Historical development of inertial navigation and strapdown INS. Coordinate systems. Kinematic Euler equation and algorithms of solving (Euler's angles, quaternions, Hamilton's parameters, Rodriges's theorem). Gyroscopes and accelerometers. Calibration of inertial units, testing and error correction. The basics of the global positioning system. Integrated navigation systems.

INS algorithms. Influence of sensor errors on inertial navigation. Calibration algorithms. Algorithms of integrated navigation systems.
