That sounds interesting. Iirc inertial navigation systems are also a key component in missiles that don't enable radar (and so reveal their presence) until they're right on the target ("pitbull"). I don't know how much of a limiter the INS is there, but it could possibly lead to more precise missiles with less warning time.
