What Does IGS Stand For?
IGS stands for Inertial Guidance System
An Inertial Guidance System (IGS) is a navigation technology that utilizes sensors to measure the acceleration and rotation of a vehicle or object in motion. By integrating this data over time, the system calculates the current position, orientation, and velocity without the need for external references. IGS is commonly used in aerospace, marine, and military applications, providing reliable navigation in environments where GPS signals may be unavailable or unreliable.
