DESCRIPTION
Modern iner/al sensors and systems cover more than ve decades of con/nuous research and
development involving various branches of science and engineering. Various technologies have
emerged in an evolu/onary manner surpassing the earlier ones in performance and reliability.
The subject is s/ll growing with prolifera/on in newer cost eec/ve applica/ons, while its wider
usage in aerospace systems con/nues.
This book exposes the readers to the subject of iner/al naviga/on, the iner/al sensors and
iner/al systems in a unied manner while emphasizing the growth areas in emerging
technologies such as microelectromechanical iner/al sensors, satellite naviga/on, satellite
naviga/on integrated iner/al naviga/on, hemispherical resonator gyro, vibra/ng beam
accelerometer, interferometric bre op/c gyro, iner/al sensor signal processing, redundant
iner/al systems and the quite recent emergence of cold atom interferometer based iner/al
sensors. The contents are imagina/vely designed that will of interest to a wide spectrum of
readers. The book has been wri>en with utmost lucidity and clarity and explana/ons provided
with a large number of illustra/ve gures.
Besides being an ideal introduc/on to the principles of iner/al sensors and systems for
undergraduate and postgraduate students of aerospace engineering, the topics dealt with will
also be of benet to prac/sing engineers and can assist the researchers to locate excellent
references for research work.
The authors have had three decades of design and applica/on research experience in premier
research ins/tu/ons and have made use of their experience in giving a userfriendly shape to the
book.

AMITAVA BOSE, Guest Faculty, Aerospace Engineering and Applied Mechanics Department,
Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur. He began his career with Indian Space
Research Organiza/on (ISRO) in 1971 as a Scien/st/Engineer C and gradually rose to the posi/on
of Director of one of its premier R&D centres. Supported by a postgraduate degree in Electrical
Engineering, from the University of NoHngham, UK, he specialised himself in the
mul/disciplinary area of iner/al sensors and systems and created signicant na/onal capabili/es.
He received Dr. Biren Roy Space Science and Design Award ins/tuted by Aeronau/cal Society of
India, for outstanding contribu/on to Indian Aerospace in the year 2000. Subsequent to
re/rement in June 2002, he received Dis/nguished Visi/ng Professorship Award from Indian
Na/onal Academy of Engineering (INAE) for four consecu/ve years for delivering lectures at the
Indian Ins/tutes of Technology on iner/al naviga/on and the related iner/al sensors. He has also
coauthored two books on the same subject.
SOMNATH PURI joined Indian Space Research Organiza/on (ISRO) in 1972 and gradually rose to
become Deputy Director of a premier R & D centre of ISRO. Supported by a postgraduate
engineering degree in Control and Instrumenta/on and a doctorate degree from the University of
Aston in Birmingham, he specialized himself in the design and development of iner/al systems
for launch vehicles and spacecraJ. He received the Dis/nguished Visi/ng Professorship Award
from Indian Na/onal Academy of Engineering (INAE) to visit Indian Ins/tute of Science,
Bangalore. AJer re/rement, Dr. Puri is currently appointed as Dean of the Mody Ins/tute of
Technology & Science, Rajasthan.
PARITOSH BANERJEE joined Defence Research and Development Organiza/on (DRDO) in 1963 as a
Scien/c Ocer and gradually rose to occupy the pres/gious posi/on of the Dean and Director of
ElectroOp/cs Instrument Research Academy. With an MSc (Tech.) degree in Applied Physics and a
Master of Engineering in Aeronau/cs, he specialized himself in the area of iner/al naviga/on and
created very good na/onal capabili/es for further research and development. He is the recipient
of the Scien/st of the Year Award in 1983, Om Bhasin Award in 1989 and DRDO Work Excellence
Award in 1998 for the work on iner/al naviga/on systems and for establishing a produc/on base
in the country.
