Über dieses Buch

This book gives a basic introduction to navigation, from key concepts, basic principles, main technologies, equipment systems to the knowledge frame of navigation. The ten chapters fall into three parts: Chapters I~III introduce the elementary knowledge of navigation; Chapters IV~IX are devoted to the basic principles, and the optimization principle of integrated navigation as well; and Chapter X discusses the application of marine navigation, indicating the basic outline of the marine navigation system. The book clearly reflects the systematic idea of navigation knowledge from multiple perspectives, which is helpful for readers to build a holistic understanding of navigation from the concept, principle, characteristics, technology to the equipment system. At the end of each chapter, reflections beyond the fundamental knowledge of navigation are included to help readers further develop their scientific thinking and general literacy. This book is written primarily for students majoring in navigation, and it may also be of interest to researchers and practitioners engaged in navigation.

Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
In new places, people need to know where they are. Where am I? Where are we going? How should I go? These questions are navigation issues. The development of navigation technology comes from human instinct and is the basic requirement of human society.

Chapter 2. Navigation Coordinate System
Abstract
Why does navigation study coordinate systems? We know that describing object motion is relative to a certain reference frame. The task of the navigation system is to determine the motion parameters of the carrier, that is, to determine the series of navigation parameters such as the carrier position, speed, attitude and its change rate in a certain coordinate system. In other words, the navigation system itself is a reference coordinate system for the carrier, which is often known as the spatiotemporal reference. Therefore, when studying the navigation problem, it comes first to determine the coordinate system, which is not only the mathematical basis for defining navigation parameters and navigation solutions but also the basic problem of all navigation technologies and navigation systems. It is very important to describe navigation parameters and solve navigation problems. This chapter will highlight the relevant knowledge about the navigation coordinate system.

Chapter 3. PNT Parameters
Abstract
Positioning, navigation and timing (PNT) parameters are the basic spatial–temporal reference parameter information of ships, aircraft and other carriers. On July 31, 2020, China’s Beidou-III system was officially started for service, and the state clearly put forward the new goal of building the Beidou comprehensive PNT system. In the future, a more ubiquitous, integrated and intelligent comprehensive PNT system will be built. In short, there are three core objectives of the PNT system, namely, positioning service, navigation service and timing service. The PNT system is a general term for all kinds of infrastructure, equipment, technology, operation and maintenance, management, application and policy required for accurate spatial and temporal information acquisition, carrier mobility guidance and information decision support within the spatial and spatial regions concerned. PNT-related technology has become a research hotspot around the world.

Chapter 4. Direct Positioning
Abstract
Positioning is the ability to precisely determine one’s location in two dimensions (or three dimensions) referenced to a standard geodetic system (such as WGS84).
Hongwei Bian, An Li, Heng Ma, Rongying Wang
Chapter 5. Vector-Based Attitude Determination
Abstract
Direction is the basic need of human beings. People need to identify the direction in their daily life.
Hongwei Bian, An Li, Heng Ma, Rongying Wang
Chapter 6. Velocity Measurement
Abstract
Velocity is a fundamental parameter of carrier motion.
Hongwei Bian, An Li, Heng Ma, Rongying Wang
Chapter 7. Gimbal-Based Attitude Determination
Abstract
In chapter V, the methods of direct attitude determination using multiple-vector are introduced. If the vector used is obtained by observing the external reference, it will be limited by the observation conditions. To achieve accurate and stable attitude determination under various conditions, it is necessary to adopt an autonomous attitude determination method.

Chapter 8. Inertial Navigation
Abstract
There is a story in “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes”: Holmes is kidnapped and blindfolded, tied up in a carriage. Holmes estimates the time spent by silently counting the time, and then calculates the distance based on the speed of the carriage to determine the approximate location of the kidnapper. The method used by Sherlock Holmes is Dead Reckoning (DR).

Chapter 9. Integrated Navigation
Abstract
Navigation systems have a variety of types and can provide information in different working conditions by various means. Thus, in practice, people seldom rely on a single navigation system but combine different navigation systems to form an integrated navigation system with better comprehensive performance. For example, rockets can use INS/CNS/GPS integrated navigation systems; aircraft can use INS/GPS/TNS integrated navigation systems; and even relatively simple land vehicle navigation systems are also based on GPS, path planning or DR (gyroscope/odometer) technology.

Chapter 10. Integrated Bridge System
Abstract
Thanks to the development of computers, modern control, information processing, communication and navigation technology, based on integrated navigation systems combined with ARPA radar, electronic charts, AIS, autopilot and other navigation and ship control equipment, the current integrated bridge system (IBS) performs better functions such as comprehensive navigation, ship control, automatic collision avoidance, integrated information display, communication and navigation management control. It is an integrated system of maritime navigation, communication, radar, control and monitoring. This chapter briefly introduces the integrated bridge system and its related equipment.
