Extract

The Global Positioning System (GPS) offers an absolute positioning accuracy of 15 to 100 metres. Inertial navigation complements GPS in that it provides relative positioning and is totally self-contained. These two positioning sensors are ideally suited for system integration for although there is not necessarily an improvement in accuracy, the integration of GPS with inertial navigation systems (INS) does enable an increase in system performance.
