Features: This book elaborates on the fundamental principles of GPS navigation and its applications, divided into ten chapters. The first three chapters introduce the development overview of the Global Positioning System (GPS), the system's composition, the spatiotemporal reference frame for navigation and positioning, and the kinematic parameters of GPS satellites. Chapter 4 provides a brief introduction to the broadcast signals of GPS satellites. Chapters 5, 6, and 7 offer a detailed analysis of the observation equations for GPS navigation and positioning, as well as the principles of static and dynamic positioning. Chapter 8 presents methods for measuring the velocity and attitude of GPS carriers. Chapter 9 focuses on the methods and several typical schemes for combining GPS and INS using Kalman filtering. The GPS/INS integrated navigation system is currently considered a more ideal system for navigation and positioning in the defense field. Chapter 10 introduces the application knowledge of GPS technology in several important fields. This book can serve as a teaching text for universities and colleges in the fields of navigation and positioning and precision strike, and can also be referenced by professionals and technicians engaged in GPS surveying and GPS navigation, as well as other technical personnel. This book elaborates on the fundamental principles of GPS navigation and its applications. The entire book is divided into ten chapters.
