An Overview of Navigation and GuidanceNavigation and GuidanceNavigation and GuidanceNavigation: The process of determining a vehicle’s / person’s / object’s position
Guidance: The process of directing a vehicle / person / object from one point to another along some desired pathExampleExampleGetting from AA building to Tainan Train Station
How would you tell someone how to get there?
How would you tell a robot to get there?
Both problems assume there is some agreed upon coordinate system.
Latitude, Longitude, Altitude (Geodetic)
North, East, Down with respect to some origin
Ad Hoc system (“starting from AA building you go 1 block…”)

Turn right / left
Go up / down
Speed up / slow downNavigation State / State VectorNavigation State / State VectorA set of parameters describing the position, velocity, altitude… of a vehicle
Navigation state vector:
Position = 3 coordinates of location, a 3x1 vector
Velocity = derivative of the position vector, a 3x1 vector
Attitude = a set of parameters which describe the vehicle’s orientation in spacePosition and VelocityPosition and VelocityMore often than not, we are interested in position and velocity vectors expressed in separate coordinates (more on this later…)AttitudeAttitudeWe will deal with two ways of describing the orientation of two coordinate frames
Euler angles: 3 angles describing relationship between 2-coordinate systems
Transformation matrix: maps vector in “A” coordinate frame to “B”Attitude (continued)Attitude (continued)The first entry of the attitude “vector”, ψ, is called yaw or heading.Navigation and Guidance SystemsNavigation and Guidance SystemsIn this class we will look at ways to determining some or all of the components of the navigation state vector.
Some navigation systems provide all of the entries of the navigation state vector (inertial navigation systems) and some only provide a subset of the state vector.
Guidance systems give instructions on how to achieve the desired position.Navigation and Guidance SystemsNavigation and Guidance SystemsCategories of NavigationCategories of NavigationDead Reckoning
Positioning (position fixing)
Navigation systems are either one of the two or are hybrids.Dead Reckoning SystemsDead Reckoning Systems“Extrapolation” system: position is derived from a “series” of velocity, heading, acceleration or rotation measurements relative to an initial position.
To determine current position you must know history of past position
Heading and speed or velocity systems
Inertial navigation systems
System accuracy is a function of vehicle position trajectoryPositioning / Position Fixing SystemsPositioning / Position Fixing SystemsDetermine position from a set of measurements.
Knowledge of past position history is not required

Marine Navigation
Greeks (300~350 B.C.) – Record of going far north as Norway, “Periodic Scylax” (Navigation manual).
Vikings (1000 A.D.) – had compass
Ferdinand Magellan (1519) – recorded use of charts (maps), devices for getting star fixes, compass, hour glass and log (for speed).
The important point to note is that these early navigators were using dead reckoning and position fixing (hybrid system)Determine Your LatitudeDetermine Your LatitudePolarisEquatorsΛ=LatitudeΛγhsREHow do you determine longitude?How do you determine longitude?Dead reckoning
Compass for heading, log for speed

Coordinate FramesCoordinate FramesThe position vector (the main output of any navigation system and our primary concern in this class) can be expressed in various coordinate frames.
Notation
Why Multiple Coordinate Frames?Why Multiple Coordinate Frames?Depending on the application at hand some coordinates can be easier to use.
In some applications, multiple frames are used simultaneously because different parts of the problem are easier to manage.
For example,
GPS: normally position and velocity in “ECEF”
INS: normally position in geodetic and velocity in “NED”Coordinate FramesCoordinate FramesCartesian

Spherical
No fixed origin
Azimuth is angle between a line connecting the origin and the point of interest (in the tangent plane) and a line from origin to north pole
Elevation is the angle between the local tangent plane and a line connecting the origin to a point of interest
Range is the slant or line-of-sight distanceAzimuth-Elevation-RangeAzimuth-Elevation-RangeTwo types of azimuth or heading angles
True: measured with respect to the geographic (true) north pole (ψT)
Magnetic: measured with respect to the magnetic north pole (ψM)Earth Magnetic FieldEarth Magnetic Field1st order approximation is that of a simple dipole
Poles move with time.
In 1996 magnetic north
pole was located at (79oN,105oW)
In 2003 it is located at (82oN,112oW)
Also, can “wander” by as much as 80km per dayEarth Magnetic FieldEarth Magnetic FieldMagnetic poles are used in navigation because ψM is easier to measure than ψT
Bx and By are measured by devices called magnetometers (Ch.9)
Anomalies such as local iron deposits lead to erroneous ψM reading

Departure – Ends when the aircraft has left the so called terminal area.
En Route – Majority of a flight is spent in this phase. Ends when the approach phase begins. Navigation error during this phase must be less than 2.8 N.M (2-σ) over land and 12 N.M over oceans. En RouteEn RoutePhases of FlightPhases of FlightApproach – Ends when the runway is in sight. The minimum descent altitude or decision height is reached. (MDA or DH)
Landing – Begins at the MDA or DH and ends when the aircraft leaves the runway.Accuracy RequirementAccuracy RequirementAccuracy required during the approach and landing phases of flight depend on the type of operation being conducted.*Used by the ground based controllers to give the user “steering“ directions and to ensure traffic separation between aircraft.
