Garmin is a Swiss company that develops consumer‚ aviation‚ and marine technologies for the Global Positioning System (GPS). It was founded in 1989 by Gerry Burrell and Min Kao in Lenexa‚ Kansas as ProNav‚ and in 2010 was incorporated in Schaffhausen‚ Switzerland‚ as the headquarters and successor to Garmin Cayman‚ which until then‚ had served as a holding company for Garmin corporation. Though their claim to fame came from their pioneering of marine and handheld GPS’ for the US Army‚ they have since

defense contractors employed by the US military. A majority of American use the Global Positioning System (GPS) to get directions on how to get from point A to B. This started out as a military technology designed to guide troops‚ as well as ensure missiles and artillery hit their targets. Not everyone may know that the internet‚ which is well known and used‚ started out in the 1960s as a military communication system. It was designed so the enemy couldn’t take out computer communication networks

provide accurate carrier phase measurements. However‚ in high dynamic situations‚ the conflict between improving PLL tracking performance and the ability to track the signal necessitates some compromises in PLL design. Optimizing the stand-alone system for dynamics‚ generally‚ degrades the accuracy of measurements. The advanced signal processing techniques as maximum likelihood (ML) and extended Kalman filter (EKF) can be used to track a common trajectory exhibiting high dynamics. However

We have traveled a long way from our early days when we were using simple keypunching machines. Significant improvements have been made in application systems and infrastructure since then - from Batch processing to on-line systems‚ from IBM 1401 and Data General system to the latest Linux/UNIX and Windows 2003

To illustrate the principles described in the Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge (SEBoK) Parts 1-6‚ Part 7 is a collection of systems engineering (SE) implementation examples. These examples describe the application of SE practices‚ principles‚ and concepts in real settings. The intent is to provide typical instances of the application of SE so readers can learn from these experiences. This can improve the practice of SE by illustrating to students‚ educators‚ and practitioners the benefits
