Abstract :
This paper presents the status of inertial sensor technology in underwater navigation applications, followed by a prediction of where inertial instrument technology is heading and in which applications the future sensor technologies will find a niche. Many kinds of sensors have been developed. The GPS is cheap and ubiquitous, but it is uncertain whether it would be continuously available in military scenarios
