New On-Site Short Introductory Course On Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems
SAI is now offering a Two-Day On-Site Introductory Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems Course for interested organizations, to be provided at the host selected site location in the contiguous United States and Canada. This is a shortened version of the original four and a half day Introductory Course offered by SAI in Minneapolis, Minnesota from 1982 - 2009. As with the original course, the Short Course is designed for engineering, management and marketing personnel who have a fundamental background in engineering, but no former background in inertial navigation or complex mathematics. The slides used in the two-day course are the same primary slides used in the original 4 1/2 day course as contained in the presentation book for both courses - Introduction To Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems by Paul G. Savage, the instructor for the Original Course and for the Short Course.

An Advanced course on strapdown inertial systems is available for the general public that rigorously focuses on the detailed analytical aspects of strapdown inertial navigation. The advanced course is four and a half days in duration and is provided by Paul G Savage's daughter Kelly Roscoe of Applied Strapdown Analytics (ASA). The analytical basis for the course is the book Strapdown Analytics provided as one of the advanced course handouts. The advanced course can be viewed as a quick and easy way to obtain and learn the material presented in the detailed and lengthy Strapdown Analytics. The next Advanced course open to the general public will be held in Minneapolis during April 23-27, 2012. For further details select Advanced Strapdown Analytics Course Information
