Applied Satellite Navigation Using GPS, GALILEO, and Augmentation Systems
By: Prasad, Ramjee
Published by: Artech House
When GPS (global positioning system) was made commercially available in the year 2000, it launched a new era of satellite navigation services and technologies as dramatic as a spacecraft launch itself. This authoritative work gives engineers a timely, unified analysis of the various satellite navigation technologies, applications, and services now in operation or development. It describes the entire GPS system in detail, including features of the next-generation GPS-III, and brings readers up to speed on the developing European GALILEO system and its innovative characteristics. The book examines the architectures paving the way for the future integration of satellite navigation systems with wireless communications systems, and for interoperability among different satellite navigation systems themselves.

Emergency Navigation
By: Burch, David
Published by: International Marine/Ragged Mountain Press
Find Your Way at Sea, No Matter What. “Inherently interesting and fun to read . . . provides the clearest understanding of general navigation principles we've seen yet.”--BoatU.S. “Thorough and authoritative.”-- Sea Kayaker. “A definitive work of instant appeal to seamen of all levels of experience.”--The Navigation Foundation. Every sailor knows that instruments can fail. Things get wet, break, fall overboard. Whether you’re safe on your boat or drifting in a life raft, let David Burch show you how to find your way no matter what navigational equipment you have. Often relying on common materials like a small stick, a plastic bottle, even a pair of sunglasses, Burch explains how to make use of all available means--from the ancient skills of Polynesian navigators to the contrails of airliners overhead--to calculate speed, direction, latitude, and longitude and to perform all aspects of piloting and dead reckoning.Learn how to: Steer by sun, stars, wind, and swells; Estimate current and leeway; Improvise your own knotmeter or plumb-bob sextant; Find the sun in a fogbank; Estimate latitude with a plate and a knotted string; And more vital information

Signal and Image Processing in Navigational Systems
By: Tuzlukov, Vyacheslav P.
Published by: CRC Press
Classical and modern theories have given us a degree of noise immunity by defining the sufficient statistic of the mean of the likelihood function. The generalized theory moves beyond these limitations to determine the jointly sufficient statistics of the mean and variance of the likelihood function.
Signal and Image Processing in Navigational Systems introduces us to the generalized approach, and then delves rigorously into the theory and practical applications of this approach. This volume represents the most in-depth discussion of the generalized approach to date, providing many examples and computer models to demonstrate how this approach raises the upper limits of noise immunity for navigation systems, leading to better detection performances.
This book is vital for signal and image processing experts, radar, communications, acoustics, and navigational systems designers, as well as professionals in the fields of statistical pattern recognition, biomedicine, astronomy, and robotics who wish to extend the boundaries of noise immunity and improve qualitative performance of their systems.
