This book features the latest theoretical results and techniques in the field of guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) of vehicles and aircraft. It covers a range of topics, including, but not limited to, intelligent computing communication and control; new methods of navigation, estimation, and tracking; control of multiple moving objects; manned and autonomous unmanned systems; guidance, navigation, and control of miniature aircraft; and sensor systems for guidance, navigation, and control.

Presenting recent advances in the form of illustrations, tables, and text, it also provides detailed information of a number of the studies, to offer readers insights for their own research. In addition, the book addresses fundamental concepts and studies in the development of GNC, making it a valuable resource for both beginners and researchers wanting to further their understanding of guidance, navigation, and control.

Dr. Liang Yan holds a Ph.D. degree from Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. He has worked as a Lecturer at Beijing Institute of Technology, as a Research Fellow at Nanyang Technological University, and as Associate Professor and Professor at Beihang University (BUAA). He is currently a Changjiang Distinguished Professor at BUAA. His research mainly focuses on high-performance actuation technology and its applications in robotics and aerospace technology.
