Control Systems Guidance and Navigation

This research area is focused on developing analytical, computational, and experimental methods for control/guidance algorithm and applies research to develop requirements for control and instrumentation systems, establish component and systems, and uses analytical modeling and simulation tools that determine control dynamic solutions. This focus area involves research and engineering of integrated aerospace vehicle systems for the guidance, navigation, and control and health management of flight vehicles in the atmosphere and space.

NASA Centers that are focused on Control Systems Guidance and Navigation:

• Dryden Flight Research Center (DFRC), Edwards, California
• Wallops Flight Facility (WFF), Wallops Island, Virginia
