Abstract :
The author describes the principles of inertial navigation (IN) at a level needed to understand the significance of the current and future trends. IN is simply a form of `dead reckoning´. A `gimballed platform´ which can measure an aircraft´s position, velocity, acceleration, attitude, and heading is examined
