A virtual or physical device, or a group of devices, to implement a guidance process used for controlling the movement of an object is known as the guidance system. The system calculates changes in position, velocity, attitude, and/or rotation rates of a moving object required to follow a certain trajectory and/or attitude profile based on information about the object’s state of motion.
