Navigation has been with the human race from time immemorial. It is not surprising, therefore, that a very great number of books have been published on this ancient art. Guidance, on the other hand, has been first implemented, by building

a remotely-guided unmanned boat for military purposes, in the beginning of this century. The technical literature on it is immense - articles, conference papers, reviews, bibliographies. However, surprisingly few books have been published that

deal with guidance. If we do not count texts that are mainly descriptive, most of which appeared in the irst decennary after World War II, we have less than half a dozen books in English. During my professional career as a research-and-development (R&D) engineer I also taught at a technical university and lectured for various industry and military audiences. I naturally used the existing texts, but gradually developed an approach which is different from theirs. Encouraged by colleagues and students, I eventually turned my lecture notes and transparencies into this book.

This text is intended for people - students, engineers, analysts, physicists, programmers - involved or interested in any of the various aspects of guidance systems: use, development, design, manufacture, marketing, analysis, operational research. Mathematics at a first-year university level is the only prerequisite. However, for comprehending some portions of the text, acquaintance with feedback control theory would be helpful.

Enjoy this great book! Brought to you by SMIRK
