Strapdown Analytics: Paul Savage

The second edition of Strapdown Analytics, Paul G Savage's 1,646 page two volume hard cloth cover text is in stock now and available for purchase.  The book is a detailed comprehensive tutorial of the author's knowledge in all analytical aspects of unaided and Kalman filter aided strapdown inertial navigation.  This includes not only the algorithms implemented in the strapdown system computer, but the analytics associated with system validation, test, simulation, and performance analysis.  Equations are derived from basics including intermediate steps, avoiding the common practice of referencing supporting equations to other source material.  This is not a simple book, covering some complicated analytical subjects.  Nevertheless, it has been designed for engineering analysts or graduate students having only a basic working knowledge of vector calculus and matrix operations.  Previous background in inertial navigation or navigation in general is not required.
