Is there a tilt angle sensor relative to the horizon?

Is there a position sensor in space? I know that there are electronic gyroscopes for determining the angle of inclination, accelerometers for determining acceleration, but is there a sensor with which you can get the xyz coordinates relative to an arbitrarily chosen "zero"? (Of course, with the help of accelerometers, you can also find out the position, but as far as I know, the accuracy of the values ​​\u200b\u200bobtained in this way is not high)

Any "normal" aircraft (airplane, ballistic missile, etc.) calculates its position in space based on data from accelerometers installed on a gyro-stabilized platform.
Any motorist or tourist can determine their location using GLONAS or ZHPS.
Any CNC machine calculates the position of the tool and knows it at any time.
And what do you need?

Google "local positioning systems". They work like GPS "in miniature". Coordinates are calculated from signals from infrared, radio or ultrasonic beacons.

Inertial systems on aircraft allow them to fly without radar and gps
