Abstract
Control systems and methods that provide a high degree of vertical measurement accuracy for a body in motion are disclosed. The systems employ an inertial sensor system for vertical measurement and a Global Navigation Satellite System that includes multipath reduction or attenuation to provide corrected vertical information for a moving body to the inertial sensor system. The combination of these systems enables the maintenance of an accurate vertical position for said body.
