The Global Navigation Satellite System
The book constitutes a valuable guide to the implementation of the CNS/ATM system towards ensuring safe, efficient and orderly evolution of international air transport. It uses a pragmatic approach in addressing the major legal, institutional, technical, political and economic aspects underlying the Global Navigation Satellite System, which is expected to play a fundamental role in aviation safety and air navigation world-wide. The book also examines, through well-reasoned analysis and research, the various controversial and relevant issues which will dominate the system in the years to come. The author demonstrates a profound grasp of the subject-matter through a sustained absorption of technical, institutional and legal principles applying to this complex subject. This is brought to bear in the coherent structure and logical organisation of the chapters which makes the book an invaluable tool for the aviation community, scholars and national and international regulatory authorities. It will also be immensely useful for practitioners who work towards further development and implementation of the CNS/ATM system. There has been no comparable work previously published.
Global Navigation Satellite Systems
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) and their associated technologies have advanced by leaps and bounds in the nine years since the first edition of this book was published. The concept of survey has changed, especially in the disciplines of geomatics and geoinformatics. This revised and updated second edition provides a thorough understanding of the basic principles and techniques of GNSS, analyzes all four active systems, and explains clearly how each of these systems works. Because of its straightforward treatment of the subject, readers will gain an insight into the techniques, trends, and applications of GNSS and develop knowledge on selecting an appropriate GNSS instrument. Written for students and practitioners in geoinformatics, geomatics engineering, surveying, and remote sensing and GIS, this introductory and practical book includes questions and exercises in each chapter. Key Features: • Furnishes detailed information on GPS, GLONASS, Galileo, BeiDou, and other regional and augmented systems • Provides practical guidance for surveying, mapping, and navigation with GNSS • Sheds light on the latest developments and modern trends of GNSS • Includes a detailed glossary of related terms • Contains many illustrations that complement the text • Exercises for each chapter • MCQ, solution manual for mathematical problems, and PPT as online resources
Global Navigation Satellite Systems and Their Applications
Professor Madry, one of the world's leading experts in the field of the practical applications of satellites and space technologies, provides in a condensed form, a quick yet comprehensive overview of all aspects of satellite navigation. This new edition concisely addresses the latest breakthrough technologies, the various national systems, the many applications, the regulatory issues, and the strategic implications of satellite navigation systems. The future directions of autonomous aircraft and the role drones play in satellite navigation networks are also evaluated. Moreover, the industry's strengths and weaknesses are discussed, as well as reviews of all the various national systems now being deployed. The motivation behind the proliferation of these systems, in this book, evaluates the overall societal and ethical issues of these invisible yet pervasive parts of our modern digital world.
