Читать книгу Global Navigation Satellite Systems, Inertial Navigation, and Integration - Mohinder S. Grewal - Страница 11

We acknowledge Professor John Angus, Jay A. Farrell, and Richard B. Langley for assistance and inspiration on the outline of this edition. We acknowledge the assistance of Mrs. Laura A. Cheung of the Raytheon Company for her expert assistance in reviewing Chapter 8 (Differential GNSS) and with the MATLAB® programs. Special thanks goes to Dr. Larry Weill for his contribution to Chapter 7 on multipath mitigation algorithms.

A. P. A. thanks Andrey Podkorytov at the Moscow Aviation Institute for corrections to the Schmidt–Kalman filter; Randall Corey from Northrop Grumman and Michael Ash from C. S. Draper Laboratory for access to the developing Draft IEEE Standard for Inertial Sensor Technology; Dr. Michael Braasch at GPSoft, Inc. for providing evaluation copies of the GPSoft INS and GPS MATLAB Toolboxes; Drs. Jeff Schmidt and Robert F. Nease, former Vice President of Engineering and Chief Scientist at Autonetics, respectively, for information on the early history of inertial navigation; and Edward H. Martin, member of the GPS development team awarded the 1992 Robert J. Collier Trophy by the National Aeronautics Association, and winner of the 2009 Captain P.V.H. Weems Award presented by the Institute of Navigation for his role in GPS receiver development, for information on the very early history of GPS/INS integration.

C. G. B. would like to thank Ohio University and many of its fine faculty, staff, and students that I have had the pleasure to interact with in my research and teaching over the years. Such a rich environment has enabled me to develop a wide variety of classes and research efforts that these writings draw upon. Thanks also goes to Neil Gerein and Jerry Freestone from NovAtel, Dave Brooks from Sensor Systems, James Horne from Roke, and Herbert Blaser from u‐blox for providing antenna information.
