Aerospace Navigation Systems, edited by Alexander V. Nebylov, is a comprehensive compendium that gathers insights from leading experts to provide an authoritative overview of modern navigation methods used in aircraft and spacecraft. Spanning practical applications to theoretical concepts, the book delves into navigational techniques relevant to a wide array of aerospace vehicles, including conventional aircraft, advanced spacecraft, and drones—both remotely controlled and autonomous. It offers a thorough grounding in fundamental theory while also exploring newly developed methodologies and integrating cutting-edge technical innovations currently available in the field.

The text covers an extensive range of topics, from satellite navigation systems (SNS) to long-range and short-range navigation systems, as well as navigational displays. Radio Navigation Systems (RNS), Inertial Navigation Systems (INS), homing systems, map matching, and other correlated-extremalsystems are also detailed. The book further examines the intricacies of optimal and sub-optimal filtering in integrated navigation systems, providing a forward-looking perspective on future developments.
