How You Will Benefit
- Discover how sensor errors arise, propagate, and are modeled & simulated
- Understand the Kalman Filter and concepts of Estimation Theory
- Master the kinematics and dynamics of 6-DOF motion
- Explore principles of Geodesy and the WGS-84 datum
- Examine systems for navigation on the Earth
- Understand gyro and accelerometer principles and error sources
- Learn the techniques of missile guidance
What You Will Cover

Simulation Certificate.
Instructors
Brian L. Stevens, has 10 years of experience working for Emerson Electric and Lockheed Martin and 22 years of teaching experience, at Vanderbilt University, Robert Gordon University (UK), and Georgia Institute of Technology. He has worked for Georgia
Tech Research Institute for 17 years and held a joint appointment as an associate professor of aerospace engineering for several years. His interests are in guidance, navigation, and control, and aircraft flight dynamics and simulation. He is a co-author with Frank L. Lewis of Aircraft Control and Simulation (second edition, John Wiley, 2003). He earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Manchester University (UK).
J. Clayton Kerce, is a senior scientist in the Tactical Weapons and Sensors program office in the Georgia Tech Research Institute's Sensors and Electromagnetic Applications Laboratory. He holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Georgia Tech and held a postdoctoral position at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Natural Sciences before joining the Georgia Tech Research Institute in 2001. His research interests include statistical estimation, signal processing, and scientific computation.
