SummarySince the publication of Kayton and Fried's classic work, AvionicsNavigation Systems, almost thirty years ago, tremendous strides have beenmade in the science and practice of navigation: satellite systems, improvedsensors, new computer technology and software, interconnected avionicssubsystems, and more. Completely updated to include the latest advancesin navigation theory, hardware, and software, this brand-new editionprovides comprehensive, unified coverage of the principles of modernnavigation equipment and systems. Retaining the user-friendlyorganization of the first edition, each chapter presents basic functions andprinciples, and then discusses design characteristics and equipmentconfigurations, performance limitations, and sources of error. Eachchapter concludes with a prediction of future trends. Comparativeperformance levels, weights, power consumption, and costs are describedwhere possible. A thorough index makes it easy to find material quickly.Avionics Navigation Systems, Second Edition, is an indispensableresource for all engineers and systems analysts who design, build, andmaintain navigation and avionics equipment, as well as for the pilots andoperations staff who use it.
