Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
receiving inertial measurements of motion for a vehicle from one or more inertial sensors within an inertial navigation system on the vehicle;
calculating inertial estimates based on the inertial measurements;
providing navigation parameters based on the inertial measurements to an external system on the vehicle and separate from the inertial navigation system through an output interface of the inertial navigation system;
receiving one or more measurements from the external system across an input interface, wherein the one or more measurements are related to position and attitude of the vehicle within a local environment;
identifying delta position and delta attitude measurements from the received one or more measurements; and
calibrating the inertial estimates based on the delta position and the delta attitude measurements;
using the calibrated inertial estimates to calculate a navigation solution that estimates the state of the vehicle while traveling.
