Customer Reviews

An essential book for those with an interest in SDINS.
John Weston and David Titterton have put together a book that is essential reading for those with an interest in StrapDown Inertial Navigation Systems. A book that is easy to read and covers everything from gyroscope and accelerometer technology to system alignment on the ground, in-flight and at sea. Excellent work!
