GNSS-Enabled Autonomous Navigation
Principles, technologies and challenges

The world is moving into an era of unprecedented transformation driven by automation and intelligent systems. This future hinges not just on artificial intelligence and machine learning's intelligence but also - fundamentally - on autonomous systems' ability to know where they are and how they are moving with precision, dependably, and continuously. Navigation is the centre of all autonomous platforms. Navigation is that foundational ability whereby a system can be aware of where it is, where it must go, and how to get there safely. Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) not only enable navigation but also synchronization of telecommunications networks, electricity distribution and financial transactions, and constitute a central infrastructure of the digital age.

David J. Daniels
The Institution of Engineering and Technology, 2004
Ground penetrating radar has come to public attention in recent criminal investigations, but has been a developing and maturing remote sensing field for some time. In the light of recent growth of the technique to a wide range of applications, the need for an up-to-date reference text has become pressing. This fully revised and expanded edition of David Daniels' bestselling text, Surface-Penetrating Radar (IEE, 1996) presents, for the non-specialist user or engineer, all the key elements of this technique, which span several disciplines including electromagnetics, geophysics and signal processing. The book enables the user to assess the potential of the technique and apply it effectively with current technology.
