Navigation without GPS

A video below demonstrates how Skilligent
Visual Localization System can be used to solve an outdoor localization
problem. The camera is mounted under the belly of an unmanned aerial
vehicle (UAV). The camera is used to search for visual landmarks on the
ground (a terrain matching based navigation)

Some ICBMs used celestial navigation just prior to reentry for dead reckoning,
SR-71 used AIS - Astro-Inertial Navigation system..pre gps

I have an old volume on missile guidance that has a chapter on optical guidance.

It even mentions celestial navigation and it's relatively shortlived deployment.
