It was not possible to store data for an entire flight, so smaller segments were stored and used to periodically update a conventional navigation system in what was called a TERCOM-Aided Inertial Navigation System (TAINS). In TAINS, the inertial guidance system navigated the missile from one [terrain contour matching (TERCOM)] checkpoint to the next, with the computer updating the inertial guidance system and correcting the missile's course.
