TITAN II GUIDANCE COMPUTER
This onboard computer accepted position data from the Inertial Measurement Unit and calculated the resulting guidance commands during the flight of the missile.

---------------

Delco Magic 352 missile guidance computer (MGC) and Carousel IV inertial measurement unit (IMU) served as the guidance system for the Titan II missile. It was later modified to the Universal Space Guidance System (USGS) and used on the Titan III-C space launch system. The IMU sent information regarding velocity and attitude of the missile to the MGC, which would send steering commands to the engine. Both elements were mounted between the fuel and oxidizer tanks inside stage 2 of the missile.
