JSOW - Joint Stand Off Weapon - a stealthy tactical cruise missile with GPS/INS guidance. Can be fitted with a radar homing warhead and loiter waiting for enemy radars to switch on. First used in Kosovo by USN F/A-18s ...
Attitude Heading Reference System - A three axis reference system that provides aircraft with heading, attitude and yaw information, typically for the primary flight display. Unlike IRS/INS/IRU systems, AHRSs have not been approved for navigation.
