### Inertial Navigation System (INS)
An INS is a navigation device that uses accelerometers, gyroscopes, possibly magnetometers, and a computer to calculate the attitude, position, and velocity of a moving object without the need for external references.
Essentially it is an AHRS that also includes position/velocity estimation.
