One embodiment of the invention includes an inertial system. The system includes at least one inertial sensor configured to measure an inertial parameter associated with each of at least one axis. The system also includes a calibration system configured to sequentially measure an inertial calibration parameter at each of a plurality input axes. The system further includes an inertial processor configured to calculate motion of the inertial system based on the inertial parameter associated with each of the respective at least one axis and the sequential measurements of the inertial calibration parameter at each of the plurality of input axes.
