Inertial Navigation

Article Abstract:

Inertial Navigation Systems are self-contained, non-radiating, nonjammable, accurate navigation systems for military and commercial applications. An overview of inertial navigation is given. Ring Laser Gyro (RLG) based navigation systems are examined and system design is discussed. Newly developed High-Accuracy Inertial Navigation Systems (HAINS) are also presented. Also described are Terrestrial Stellar-Inertial Navigation Systems, Fiber-Optic Gyroscopes, and Magnetic Resonance Gyroscopes.

Inertial Confinement Fusion: Review and Perspective

Article Abstract:

The extraction of energy from fusion reactions ignited in small fuel pellets by the deposition of energy at extremely high power is referred to as inertial confinement fusion (ICE). Inertially confined fusion can be harnessed to produce thermal power. Elements required for a successful ICF power system are analyzed. A block diagram shows major elements of an ICF reactor.

Modern Navigation Systems and their Relation to Timekeeping

Article Abstract:

Navigational systems can be used to aid Precise Time and Time Intervals (PTTI) systems to maintain and distribute time accurately. Omega, Loran-C, TRANSIT, and the Global Positioning System are used by the PTTI community. Graphs illustrate techniques used for timekeeping.
