Why Inertial Navigation Systems are Vital for Mobile Radar Systems
19 July 2024
Stands for inertial navigation system. An INS is a navigation device that uses a computer, motion sensors (accelerometers) and rotation sensors (gyroscopes) to continuously calculate by dead-reckoning the position, the orientation, and the velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the need for external references such as GNSS.
