Plan to stay at our conference hotel—
Paradise Point Resort
IEEE, the world’s largest professional engineering organization, through its Aerospace and
Electronics Systems Society, invites you to attend and enjoy PLANS 2000. We sponsor the
Position Location and Navigation Symposium every two years. PLANS 2000 will focus on the
electronic systems, technologies, and applications that are operationally important now and on
new developments that will affect the future of navigation. PLANS has an excellent reputation
for providing a broad spectrum of high quality, technically-significant papers and tutorials.
Our technical program and tutorial sessions offer the latest information on a wide variety of
subjects. In addition to research and development topics, we have placed increased emphasis on
applications and integration of navigation equipment and technologies. With our plans for 20
technical paper sessions and a full day of tutorials, we will offer an intensive and interesting
week of exciting information. An outstanding group of session chairs has selected 100 papers for
our technical program.
SPECIAL—Register for the symposium early (by 3/3/00) and receive
a FREE Magellan GPS Blazer 12 receiver at the meeting.

ONE PLUS ONE =
? IMPROVED
NAVIGATION VIA INTEGRATION
Instructor: G. Jeffrey Geier
The integration of GPS with an Inertial Navigation System improves the quality and integrity of each
navigation system: use of GPS permits calibration of inertial instrument biases, and the INS can be used
to improve the tracking and reacquisition performance of the GPS receiver. This course will first review
the basics of Kalman filtering, and contrast centralized and decentralized approaches as applied to
GPS/INS integration. Kalman filter modeling issues will be reviewed in detail; GPS receiver assistance,
in the form of both acquisition and tracking aid, will also be reviewed. Case studies of low-cost aircraft
and automotive integrations will be used to provide practical applications of the theoretical discussions.
This course is designed for engineering managers and engineers. Some background in Kalman filtering
is assumed, along with a high-level understanding of inertial navigation systems, and some familiarity
with GPS.
Course Outline
• Introduction to GPS/INS Integration
• Kalman Filter Design Issues
• GPS Receiver Assistance
• Case Studies
