Disambiguation

Guidance system refers to the device/system controlling vehicle trajectory and movement, distinct from navigation (which determines position). In UAP context, documented failures of guidance and navigation systems occur during encounters.

Concept

scientific-term

A system controlling the trajectory and movement of vehicles by processing sensor data and generating control commands; distinct from navigation systems which determine position.

Um sistema que controla a trajetória e movimento de veículos processando dados de sensores e gerando comandos de controle; distinto de sistemas de navegação que determinam a posição.
