Inertial sensors and GNSS make for a powerful combination when supporting life-critical navigation systems, including aviation navigation and flight control.
In this 90-minute webinar, viewers heard from Alex Stratton, a principal engineer and technical project manager for Rockwell Collins, and Chuck Bye, senior engineering fellow at Honeywell Aerospace. Demoz Gebre-Egziabher, associate professor of Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics at University of Minnesota-Twin Cities, moderated the event.
Discussion topics included the following:
- GNSS and integrated avionics typical design configurations
- Types and sources of inertial sensor errors
- Modeling inertial sensor errors
- Creating error budgets
- Typical navigation avionics performance requirements
- GNSS signal characteristics to simulate (clock and ephemeris, atmospheric propagation, etc.)
- Categories of avionics testing
CAST Navigation sponsored the web seminar.
