Abstract

Systems and methods for providing location and guidance, and more particularly for providing location and guidance in environments where global position systems (GPS) are unavailable or unreliable (GPS denied and/or degraded environments), utilizing inertial measurement units (IMUs) to provide such location and guidance. A series of low-accuracy or low-resolution IMUs, in combination, are utilized to provide high-accuracy or high-resolution location and guidance results.
