추측 항법

정의

알려진 위치에서 시작하여 기록된 속도, 경과 시간, 진행 방향을 사용해 선박이나 차량의 현재 위치를 추정하는 과정.

설명

Before GPS, dead reckoning was the primary open-ocean navigation method. Errors accumulate over time because small inaccuracies in speed or direction compound with each calculation. Columbus used dead reckoning to cross the Atlantic, and Apollo mission computers used it to track the spacecraft's position between Earth and the Moon. Modern inertial navigation systems automate the same principle with accelerometers and gyroscopes.
