PALMDALE – The AERO Institute, in partnership with The American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), is offering two new classes geared for engineers and aerospace professionals at the AERO Institute, 38256 Sierra Highway, Suite A in Palmdale.<\/p>\n
The classes are entitled \u201cOptimal State Estimation<\/em>\u201d and \u201cMathematical Introduction to Integrated Navigations Systems with Applications<\/em>\u201d and will be held on Feb. 28 and March 1. Registration and class costs are available at https:\/\/www.aiaa.org\/SecondaryTwoColumn.aspx?id=591<\/a>.<\/p>\n The \u201cOptimal State Estimation\u201d course is designed for engineers who want to estimate the states of a dynamic system. This includes electrical, aerospace, chemical, and mechanical engineers, but could also include engineers from other disciplines. This course will interest those who want to learn the basics, as well as those who want to learn about recent advances and research directions.<\/p>\n The class presents state estimation theory clearly and rigorously, providing the right balance of fundamentals, advanced material, and recent research results. After taking this course, the student will be able to confidently apply state estimation techniques in a variety of fields.<\/p>\n After being given a solid foundation in the fundmentals, students will be presented with a careful treatment of advanced topics, including H-infinity filtering, unscented filtering, high-order nonlinear filtering, particle filtering, constrained state estimation, reduced order filtering, robust Kalman filtering, and mixed Kalman\/H-infinity filtering.<\/p>\n The \u201cMathematical Introduction to Integrated Navigations Systems with Applications\u201d course is designed for those directly involved with the design, integration, and test and evaluation of Integrated Navigation Systems. It is assumed that the attendees have a background in mathematics including calculus.<\/p>\n This course is segmented into two parts. In the first part, elements of the basic mathematics, kinematics, equations describing navigation systems and their error models, aids to navigation, and Kalman filtering are reviewed. Detailed derivations are provided. The accompanying textbook provides exercises to expand the application of the materials presented.<\/p>\n Applications of the course material, presented in the first part, are presented in the second part for actual Integrated Navigation Systems. Examples of these systems are implemented in the MATLAB\/Simulink \u2122 commercial product, and are provided for a hands-on experience in the use of the mathematical techniques developed.<\/p>\n The AIAA is the world’s largest technical society dedicated to the global aerospace profession. AIAA\u2019s mission is to address the professional needs and interests of the past, current, and future aerospace workforce and to advance the state of aerospace science, engineering, technology, operations, and policy to benefit our global society.
