IEEE, the world’s largest professional engineering organization, through its Aerospace and Electronics Systems Society, invites you to attend and enjoy PLANS 2000. We sponsor the Position Location and Navigation Symposium every two years. PLANS 2000 will focus on the electronic systems, technologies, and applications that are operationally important now and on new developments that will affect the future of navigation. PLANS has an excellent reputation for providing a broad spectrum of high quality, technically-significant papers and tutorials.

Our technical program and tutorial sessions offer the latest information on a wide variety of subjects. In addition to research and development topics, we have placed increased emphasis on applications and integration of navigation equipment and technologies. With our plans for 20 technical paper sessions and a full day of tutorials, we will offer an intensive and interesting week of exciting information. An outstanding group of session chairs has selected 100 papers for our technical program.

SPECIAL—Register for the symposium early (by 3/3/00) and receive

a FREE Magellan GPS Blazer 12 receiver at the meeting.

NAVIGATION VIA INTEGRATION

Instructor: G. Jeffrey Geier

The integration of GPS with an Inertial Navigation System improves the quality and integrity of each navigation system: use of GPS permits calibration of inertial instrument biases, and the INS can be used to improve the tracking and reacquisition performance of the GPS receiver. This course will first review the basics of Kalman filtering, and contrast centralized and decentralized approaches as applied to GPS/INS integration. Kalman filter modeling issues will be reviewed in detail; GPS receiver assistance, in the form of both acquisition and tracking aid, will also be reviewed. Case studies of low-cost aircraft and automotive integrations will be used to provide practical applications of the theoretical discussions. This course is designed for engineering managers and engineers. Some background in Kalman filtering is assumed, along with a high-level understanding of inertial navigation systems, and some familiarity with GPS.
