Inertial navigation system

ID: inertial-navigation-system

An Inertial Navigation System (INS) is a navigation aid used for determining the position, orientation, and velocity of a moving object without the need for external references. It relies on a combination of sensors, usually gyroscopes and accelerometers, to track the movement of the object over time. ### Key Components: 1. **Accelerometers**: Measure the specific force (acceleration) acting on the system in multiple dimensions.
