iMAR is a technologically broad-based specialist in inertial technology,
                           signal processing, mechatronics, hardware, and software, all of which
                             we use as a basis for alignment, navigation, localization, guidance,
                                      stabilization and positioning of moving objects.

                             Among others, the earth’s rate of rotation and the force of gravity
                                 are natural reference data used for terrestrial navigation.

                                  Some key terms used in this context, which are drawn
                                           from Latin or Ancient Greek, include:


                                        Inertial navigation - contains the root word:
                                        Inertia [Lat.] force of inertia > acceleration

                                      Gyroscope - angular rate sensor, composed of:
                                      γυροσ [ancient Greek] – circle or turning and
                                         σκοπείν [ancient Greek] – see/observe
