Overview

The IGN Inertial Guidance System is a navigation technology developed by the US military in the 1950s and 1960s. It uses a combination of gyroscopes and accelerometers to calculate an object's position, velocity, and orientation. The system was initially used in ballistic missiles and later adapted for use in aircraft, spacecraft, and submarines. Companies like Northrop Grumman, Boeing, and Lockheed Martin have contributed to the development and implementation of inertial guidance systems.
