GNC (Guidance, Navigation, and Control) Systems

Guidance, Navigation, and Control (GNC) systems are the technologies that help vehicles like spacecraft, missiles, or drones reach their destination accurately and safely. Guidance determines the desired path or target; navigation figures out the vehicle's current position and movement using sensors and data; control adjusts the vehicle's actions—like thrusters or fins—to follow the planned route. Together, GNC systems ensure precise movement, allowing complex missions such as space exploration or missile targeting to be executed reliably and efficiently.
