GPSINS *Paris,France*Destin,Florida* pg 3 of 10 COMMENTS OF PREVIOUS ATTENDEES Thank you for the fine job you did of teaching at our facility.Logically presented, upto date and informative.
Al Worden, Apollo15 Astronaut & President, BF GOODRICH AEROSPACE, Grand Rapids, MI
Dr. Bose is an excellent teacher in addition to having complete knowledge of the subject matter. I think his strongest
quality is his teaching ability; he teaches for the class, not at them. He always tries to get the students involved by
asking questions. Whenever he senses people are not understanding the material, he gives a physical interpretation
of what is going on. He explains even the most complex ideas in terms of simple concepts that everyone understands,
and then adds in the complex details. Elton Hopper, WPAFB,OH
I consider this course a must for all new employees, highly recommend for experienced employees and a periodic
refresher for all involved with GPS/INS. George Kosmos,Head,GPS/INS Div, NRaD, San Diego,CA
An excellent course. It has been a pleasure listening to someone who knows his material.
Dr. Doyle Dingus, ASD, EGLIN AIR FORCE BASE, Florida

exhaustive. Jean-Michel Rousseau, ASHTECH,INC., Sunnyvale, California
The course material provided enough overview and insight for contract monitors, provided the detail so important to
system developers, and provided an invaluable start to young engineers. If only I had taken this course 10 years ago.
Vlasta’s wonderful meals and snacks kept everyone alert and focused.
Sharon Dudley, U S ARMY MICOM, Redstone Arsenal, Alabama
Great selection of topics.Great food.Covered the whole book. James Doty, ROCKWELL COLLINS, Iowa
A very complex subject was explained on a level that anyone with a basic background in INS & GPS could
understand. Also, the food was excellent. Michael Perry, US AIR FORCE, San Antonio, Texas
Overall I would rate it as an excellent course. The instructor is very knowledgeable in the subject and responds well
to questions posed by the class. Bruce Hewston, NAVAL SURFACE WEAPONS,Dahlgren,VA

GPSINS *Paris,France*Destin,Florida* pg 4 of 10
MORE COMMENTS OF PREVIOUS ATTENDEES Very impressed by the completeness of the course. Not only precise theoretical concepts but practical implications
were addressed. The course was very well organized and the material was presented gradually, which is essential in
such an intense course. Dr.Bose is very clear in his explanations and has a profound knowledge of all the subject.
Physical interpretations of difficult parts of the material are essential during the class, and Dr. Bose presents them in
a simple way. He also responds very well to questions posed during his explanations. Overall we would rate this as
an excellent course Ricardo S. Sanchez Pena, Ph.D.(Caltech), Professor of Engineering, UNIV of BUENOS AIRES,
Argentina & Research Scientist, CONAE, Argentina
All of the material relevant to navigation is brought together in one set of notes. This is a great resource. Instructor
is very knowledgeable and presents material very well. The efforts made to provide attendees with refreshments and
meals are extraordinary and much appreciated. My compliments to the course coordinator.She is very well organized
and a most pleasant asset to the course. Overall, I found the course to meet my expectations and well worth the
expense. I would highly recommend it to anyone wishing to improve skills and mastery of navigation related subject
matter. Ragon Kinney, SANDIA NATL LABS,Albuquerque,NM
Instructor gave very clear discussion of material. Highly motivated and enthusiastic.Encouraged student
participation and answered questions very clearly.Excellent course. Ernest Ohlmeyer, NSWC, Dahlgren, VA

Topics flow logically into making a very cohesive presentation. Nice style of presentation making it easy to listen for
five days. That’s not easy to do. Very good course. I enjoyed course very much and I think it was well worth my time
(and my company’s money) to attend this course. It would be well worth anyone’s time who is involved in GPS/INS
related fields. Thanks. Vincent Wos, LOCKHEED MARTIN, Fort Worth, Texas
This is possibly the best short course I have attended. Besides all the lectures, Vlasta did a remarkable job
considering breakfast, lunch and breaks. Jan Kjellgren, DEFENCE RESEARCH EST, Linkoping, Sweden
I have NEVER seen somebody teach so well. Patrick Wagner, DAIMLER BENZ AEROSPACE,Munich,FDR
The subject matter for this course is complex,and the instructor should be complimented for good knowledge in all
areas. There's probably only a handful of people in the whole country who could expertly cover all this material. The
presentations were all clear, pertinent, and presented well. The instructor is a good speaker, and a good teacher.
Ken Woelfel, LITTON AERO PRODUCTS, Moorpark, California
Dr. Bose provided an in-depth, yet understandable development. Dr. Bose is very knowledgeable. I highly
recommend this course for thoserequiring knowledge in navigation. Neil Banks, WPAFB, Ohio
Excellently prepared and presented and shows a great deal of thought in its organization and broadness for detail
design or systems or test managers and engineers. Dr. Bose did an excellent job presenting the material and showed
great patience and understanding for novice students. Fred Nadeau, WPAFB, Ohio
Dr. Bose answers questions thoroughly. A lot of times you get someone who knows the subject inside and out, but
cannot teach it. This is not the case here. Dr. Bose is an excellent teacher.
Brian Weyant, 4950th TEST WING, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio
An outstanding course. I highly recommend it for personnel desiring knowledge in this area. The course book will
serve as a good reference in the future. It was obvious that the instructor has a solid background in the subject area.
Stan Zavist, AERONAUTICAL SYSTEMS DIV, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio
The overall quality of the class was excellent. Dr.Bose was a great instructor and presented the information well. He
is obviously an expert in the field. George Bledsoe, FOREIGN TECHNOLOGY DIV, WPAFB, Ohio
The background of the audience varied greatly - systems engineers, software engineers, system analysts and
managers attended. Dr. Bose managed his lectures so that everyone learned something. Dr. Bose was well prepared
for his classes and clearly knows the subject thoroughly. His organization of the lecture material was clear and
logically progressed from the physics principles to the stated assumptions to the mathematical formulations.
