Inst. of Navigation GNSS Tutorials

For the decade ending with Covid (2019) I was privileged to work with Ohio University Prof. Frank vanGraas, in presenting tutorial sessions at Institute of Navigation’s annual GNSS conference.   Two sessions covered integrated navigation with Kalman filtering.

 By way of background : The first session was introductory, with  each attendee being given a book with a development aimed at those learning inertial navigation and/or Kalman filtering for the first time.  Prior to the course, my free-to-ION-members online tutorial was recommended.  Also my three-part matrix tutorial video  was made freely available to attendees.

Prof. vanGraas sponsored, and provided the flight data that enabled, the successful validation of 1-cm/sec RMS velocity vector accuracy obtained from   1-second sequential changes in carrier phase .   Those results for almost an hour in air are provided, with the algorithms used to obtain them, in a more recent book that was given to those attending the second session.  Importance of this material has increased further with ongoing Standards Development described in my recent presentation to the National Advisory Board for satnav.
