Who Are
We?
The IMU&GPS
Team
is the result of the merger of the
scientific school Theory and Practice of Strapdown Inertial Navigation
Systems founded by Prof. Mikhail Zakharin, ScD, in the 1950s and the
scientific school Gyros, Navigation Devices and Complexes founded by Prof.
Mikhail Pavlovsky, ScD. The close cooperation between these two schools
has made it possible to obtain fundamentally new results through
integration of the theory, principles of design, gyro and accelerometer
error patterns and their designs based on different principles, and their
study with the results of development of the theory, software, design
principles, and experimental debugging of the strapdown inertial
navigation system (SINS) technologies and flight and navigation complexes
and control systems built based on them. The research and development
results form the basis for more than 15 ScD and 50 PhD theses.
During
25+ years, we have developed a closed cycle of SINS technologies and
complexes built based on them. These technologies allow us to study
SINS-associated issues through computer simulation; to synthesize
structures to solve various problems; to solve the main SINS system,
hardware and software problems (both at the sensor and complex level) to
achieve the required accuracy and reliability both using internal
possibilities and through integration with other data sources; to
calibrate the IMU using low-cost equipment; to carry out complex tests
both in a laboratory and in the field.
At present, we are carrying out a series of
theoretical and experimental studies to develop low-cost systems designed
for use in the various industries (agriculture, railway, road, and air
transport).

Our Teachers |
 |
Mikhail Zakharin (1920 - 2002), ScD,
professor, the founder of the Kiev-based scientific school The
Theory and Practice of Strapdown Inertial Navigation Systems. He
prepared more than six ScDs and 30 PhDs. Author of 150 scientific
papers, including five books. He was one of the first in the USSR to
prove in the 1950s that it is possible to create strapdown inertial
systems and devoted all his life to their theory and implementation
in various types of moving objects, as well as to preparation of
scientists in the field of navigation and control.

of three State Prizes of the USSR and Ukraine, an MP of three
parliament convocations. He prepared more than 12 ScDs and 50 PhDs.
