Modern inertial technology : navigation, guidance, and control / Anthony Lawrence.
While some automatic navigation systems can use external measurements to determine their position (as the driver of a car uses road signs, or more recent automated systems use satellite data), others (such as those used in submarines) cannot. They must rely instead on internal measurements of the ac...
