Navigation - Missile System Design Project

The navigation subsystem provides state estimation for the missile’s position, velocity, and attitude.

Overview

Navigation systems typically include:

Inertial Measurement Units (IMU)
GPS/GNSS receivers
Sensor fusion algorithms (e.g., Kalman filters)

The navigation system must provide accurate state estimates despite sensor noise and biases.
