Inertial technology is one of the key technologies for navigating carriers. Inertial technology is a technology that uses inertial principles or other related principles to independently measure and control the movement process of carriers. It is a technology of inertial navigation, inertial guidance, inertial measurement and inertial sensors. the general term for. Modern inertial technology has penetrated from the initial military application to the civilian field with the support of the abundant funds of the governments of various countries. Inertial technology occupies a very important position in national defense equipment technology. For inertial-guided medium- and long-range missiles, generally speaking, 70% of the hit accuracy depends on the accuracy of the guidance system. For missile nuclear submarines, due to the long submerged time, their position and speed are changing, and these data are the initial parameters of launching missiles, which directly affect the missile's hit accuracy, so it is necessary to provide high-precision position, speed and vertical alignment signals. The only navigation aid currently available for submarines is the inertial navigation system. Inertial navigation relies entirely on the carrier's own equipment to navigate independently, does not rely on external information, has the advantages of good concealment, work is not affected by weather conditions and human interference, and has high precision. For long-range cruise missiles, the inertial guidance system plus map matching technology or other guidance technology can ensure that it can still hit the target with high accuracy after flying thousands of kilometers.
Inertial technology has been gradually extended to the fields of aerospace, aviation, navigation, oil development, geodesy, marine survey, geological drilling control, robotics and railways. With the emergence of new inertial sensitive devices, inertial technology is widely used in the automotive industry, medical electronics devices have been applied. Therefore, inertial technology not only occupies a very important position in the modernization of national defense, but also increasingly shows its huge role in various fields of national economy.
