Abstract
In this chapter we will summarize the tradeoffs between inertial systems designs and sensors, considering performance, cost, and reliability. The technology appropriate for a particular system depends on the performance and reliability needed and the size available; the cost will always need to be the lowest possible. We will also try to predict where the instrument design field is headed, allowing for the full impact of the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellite radio aid.
