Military Geodesy and Geospace Science. Unit Three
Abstract
This lecture course provides a full-year introduction to Military Geodesy and Geospace Science. Throughout the presentation a military perspective is maintained which links Mapping, Charting, and Geodesy (MC&G) issues with modern defense requirements. Elementary preparation is assumed in the subjects of general physics, mechanics, chemistry, astronautics, and linear system theory. The student should also be familiar with differential equations, analytic geometry, and linear algebra. Some acquaintance with vector calculus is useful but not essential. The topics covered herein are intended to provide conceptual rather than working knowledge. Ideally, the student completing this course will have attained a broad understanding of the MC&G field and will be able to develop specialized expertise quickly when required. The organizational flow of the lectures is from concepts in the initial sections, particularly in Unit One, to applications and specific systems later on. As a result the student is often referred ahead to provide motivation in regard to relevancy. In later chapters, however, the situation is reversed with the student referred back to review important conceptual material as necessary.
