The evolution of electrotechnology in inertial guidance and control systems is traced. Electrotechnology has been a significant factor in the evolution of guidance and control (G&C) over the last half century. The first pilotless aircraft, developed in World War I, was controlled primarily with pneumatic servos. Inertial guidance and electronic control systems surfaced at Peenemunde around World War II. Advances in fire control servos led to the development of the floated gyro and ushered in precision inertial navigators. Digital electronics replaced analog designs so that the level of G&C sophistication increased dramatically. As digital computers became smaller and more powerful, their use proliferated. The successful first launch of the Space Shuttle is indicative of the progress made over the last half century.
