The AN/ASN-114 Inertial Navigation Set (INS) is a sensor for aircraft positions, velocity, attitude, and heading information. The system develops navigational data from self-contained, inertial sensors, consisting of a vertical accelerometer, two horizontal accelerometers and two two-axis displacement gyroscopes. The sensing elements are mounted in a four gimbal, gyro stabilized inertial platform. The set provides pitch, roll, and heading in both analog (synchro) and digital form. In addition, the following outputs are provided on a serial digital channel in ARINC 571 format: (1) Present Position -- Latitude, Longitude, Altitude; (2) Aircraft Attitude -- Pitch, Roll, Heading, Drift Angle, Wander Angle; (3) Aircraft Velocity -- North-south velocity, East-west velocity, Vertical velocity, Ground speed, Track angle; (4) Steering Information -- Distance-to-go, Track angle error, Cross track distance, Desired track, Drift angle plus track angle error.
