Abstract
A method of approximately correcting a vehicle's guidance system command for the disturbing effects of the medium through which it is moving, without having to sense or estimate the speed and direction of that medium. The correction is determined by taking the ratio of two scalar quantities: the speed of the vehicle relative to the medium, which can be estimated from the known fluid dynamic characteristics of the vehicle, divided by an approximation of inertial speed, which can be obtained using one or more on-board sensors such as a GPS, thus increasing transient performance of the vehicle moving through the fluid medium.
