  2. Dead reckoning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dead_reckoning

    In navigation, dead reckoning is the process of calculating the current position of a moving object by using a previously determined position, or fix, and incorporating estimates of speed, heading (or direction or course), and elapsed time.

  3. Set and drift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Set_and_drift

    In order to utilize set and drift in navigation, navigators must first set the course using Dead Reckoning. A Dead Reckoning, DR, is calculated by using a previously determined position on a chart, and advancing that position based on known or estimated speed over a set amount of time. This can be calculated by using the formula Speed ...

  4. Inertial navigation system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inertial_navigation_system

    An inertial navigation system (INS; also inertial guidance system, inertial instrument) is a navigation device that uses motion sensors (accelerometers), rotation sensors and a computer to continuously calculate by dead reckoning the position, the orientation, and the velocity (direction and speed of movement) of a moving object without the ...

  5. Celestial navigation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestial_navigation

    Celestial navigation, also known as astronavigation, is the practice of position fixing using stars and other celestial bodies that enables a navigator to accurately determine their actual current physical position in space or on the surface of the Earth without relying solely on estimated positional calculations, commonly known as dead reckoning.

  9. Drift meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drift_meter

    A drift meter consists of a small telescope extended vertically through the bottom of the aircraft with the eyepiece inside the fuselage at the navigator's station. A reticle, typically consisting of spaced parallel lines, is rotated until objects on the ground are seen to be moving parallel to the vertical lines.
