Integrated GPS/INS systems have some real advantages, in terms of output rate, reliability, and accuracy. The Global Positioning System and Inertial Navigation is the first-ever reference to provide engineers and scientists with a detailed, top-to-bottom look at GPS and INS in a single volume. This in-depth text provides navigation system designers comprehensive and accurate coverage of such topics as coordinate frames and transformations, Kalman filtering techniques, navigation system performance analysis, GPS receiver ephemeris and pseudo-range processing, differential GPS, carrier phase processing, and attitude determination. Extensively cross-referenced to the literature on advanced navigation system design, this superb engineering reference is ideal for navigation systems designers, analysts, and project managers.. With GPS and INS hardware becoming ever smaller and less expensive, innovative opportunities for commercial navigation systems are everywhereÑand continue to arise

"Mixed Results" according to A Customer. I purchased this book mostly for its technical content and less for its descriptive narrative about inertial nav and GPS. My goal was to use the book as a basis for some analysis. Unfortunately, I can't recommend the book to someone who can't re-derive the equations in the book.One reviewer from New Mexico wrote: "There are some math errors [in Farrell & Barth's book] that are obvious, but whe. "Who edited this?" according to A Customer. I have struggled throught the first 2 chapters of this book and can't believe how poorly written this is. Mathematical derivations suffer from "logic leaps" that are not at all intuitive. Coordinate frame definitions are adequate, but more figures are needed. The text references figures with Greek symbols. When you go to the figure the symbol is missing or changed to another symbol. There are . "Not what I expected" according to T. Vetier. I am an electrical engineer and was looking for an insight into INS. From what I had read, I had the impression that this book would be at a level I could understand with relative ease - not the case. I have now purchased an alternative.This is what happens when you only have a limited review capability before purchasing.
