COURSE OVERVIEW
GPS/GNSS/IMU Integration for Robustness/Accuracy Training provides extensive coverage of multisensor integration by flight-validated methods. The instructor is the author of innovations in carrier phase, integrity, inertial error propagation (Matlab program for long term, commonality with tracking for short-term), and practical estimation techniques. It can benefit anyone involved in GNSS, inertial navigation or tracking, or any integrated combination.
The motivation was prompted by vulnerability jamming and spoofing in current operations, drawing urgent attention toward robustness in satellite navigation (GNSS). Primary attention is given to GNSS (satellite) and inertial navigation, either used separately or together, with additional sensors (e.g., magnetometer, radar) also included. Both navigation and tracking of external objects are addressed, illuminating similarities and differences among applications.
Most operations don’t require pinpoint instantaneous location in minuscule volumes, but dynamic accuracy remains crucial (e.g., projecting over a minute ahead for collision avoidance). Prudence then urges precision in dynamics while accepting an adequate position without laborious efforts vulnerable to catastrophic errors. The goal is met through sequential differencing of carrier phase and separate correction with pseudo-range measurements, all subjected to rigorously derived integrity testing. Tight integration only begins to describe the approach.
The GPS/GNSS/IMU Integration for Robustness/Accuracy Training course begins with fundamentals, showing the clear intuitive connection of mathematics to physical examples, followed by a natural transition to advanced material. Practical realities are given top priority, by delivering maximum effectiveness from the simplest permissible representations.
