George-
 
 I confess to having no experience designing inertial navigation systems, for 
aircraft, submarines, or flying cars. (They did promise us flying cars!)
 I don't see why a device measuring acceleration due to gravity could not be 
used to filter out--and thus remove--the effects of rough weather. It would 
seem that if the "sea state gravity" effects can be registered on the 
accelerometer chips, they can be subtracted from the overall effects in the 
fluxgate sensors, producing a net fluxgate reading without the rough weather 
effects.
 What am I not seeing here?
