Theory of Blind Navigation by Dynamical Measurements
ResearchPublished 1949
A study of the differential equation in the blind navigation theory. The position of the vehicle is determined from dynamical measurements of the nongravitational acceleration b made internally. Three linear approximations to the gravitational field g(r) of the earth and an intervalwise solution of trajectories of extended range are discussed for the equation solution.
