A terrain referenced navigation system for a vehicle is disclosed and includes an inertial measurement unit and one or more generic terrain sensors configured to collect terrain-dependent data. The terrain referenced navigation system includes one or more processors in electronic communication with the generic terrain sensors and the inertial measurement unit, and a memory coupled to the processors. The memory stores data into one or more databases and program code that, when executed by the processors, causes the terrain referenced navigation system to determine a predicted terrain value based on a terrain value, where the terrain value is retrieved from one or more sensor specific terrain databases. The pre-Kalman filter processing values are sent to a Kalman filter. The Kalman filter determines navigation corrections and sensor corrections based on the pre-Kalman filter processing values.
