Beat me to it, sounds like a version of inertial.

It still has to know where it is at the start.

I flew 747-4, they used multiple GPS and Inertial systems, that worked together.

Inertial navigation systems drift. GPS is too slow. Use GPS to correct INS drift, use INS to get immediate (millisecond latency) attitude, orientation and quick response to maneuvers.
