Inertial Guidance

Description:

Inertial guidance refers to a navigation system that utilizes accelerometers and gyroscopes to track the position, velocity, and orientation of a moving object, such as an aircraft or missile, without relying on external references or signals. It operates on the principle of the object's inertia and provides accurate guidance, especially in situations where other navigation methods may be unreliable or unavailable.

Sample Sentences:

  • The fighter jet employs advanced inertial guidance systems for precise navigation and targeting.
  • The submarine only relies on its inertial guidance system when submerged to maintain stealth and security.
  • An inertial guidance system allows a missile to hit its target with incredible accuracy, even in challenging conditions.
