Navigasjonssystem
Navigasjonssystem refers to a system that allows for the determination of position, orientation, and velocity of an object. These systems are crucial for guiding vehicles, aircraft, ships, and even individual pedestrians from one location to another. The most common type of navigation system in widespread use today is the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which includes the United States' Global Positioning System (GPS), Russia's GLONASS, Europe's Galileo, and China's BeiDou. These systems rely on a network of satellites orbiting the Earth to transmit signals. A receiver on the ground picks up these signals, and by calculating the time it takes for the signals to arrive from multiple satellites, it can determine its precise location.
Beyond satellite-based systems, other navigation methods exist. Inertial navigation systems (INS) use accelerometers and gyroscopes to
