I'm surprised there isn't a major investment in Inertial Navigation. I'd have thought the technology had advanced hugely since the kit fitted in the 727 etc.

London underground, CERN, submar . . . oh, wait, they know how to navigate. Tonnes of kit strapped to the wall of a Boeing 707 reminds me of flying DC3's with Decca.
