he subject of integrated navigation systems covered in this book is designed for those directly involved with the design, integration, and test and evaluation of navigation systems.

It is assumed that the reader has a background in mathematics, including calculus.

Integrated navigation systems is the combination of an onboard navigation solution (position, velocity, and attitude) and independent navigation data (aids to navigation) to update or correct navigation solutions.

In this book, this combination is accomplished with Kalman filter algorithms.

This presentation is segmented into two parts.

In the first part, elements of basic mathematics, kinematics, equations describing navigation systems/sensors and their error models, aids to navigation, and Kalman filtering are developed.

Detailed derivations are presented and examples are given to aid in the understanding of these elements of integrated navigation systems.
