Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is titled Inertial Navigation Technology and Its Applications. Although inertial navigation technology has a long history and has found numerous applications, it is still making progress in many areas, such as sensors, methods, systems, applications, etc. Many efforts have been made to investigate cold atomic gyros, quantum gyros, hemispherical resonator gyros, MEMS gyros/accelerometers, inertial sensors’ error modelling, initial alignment methods, high-accuracy integration methods for INS, the rotating modulation INS, GNSS/INS, CNS/INS, etc. This means that inertial navigation technology is still in high demand nowadays. In fact, the inertial navigation technology is indispensable to an intelligent society if the availability and reliability of other navigation technology, such as GNSS and visual navigation, are considered. Hence, inertial navigation plays an important role in SLAM, automatic driving, etc. This Special Issue welcomes a discussion of these advances in inertial sensors, algorithms, integrations, and applications.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
