function pos_n = pos_update(pos, vel, dt)
% pos_update: updates position in the navigation frame (lat, lon, h).
%
% INPUT:
%   pos,    3x1 position vector [lat lon h] (rad, rad, m).
%   vel,    3x1 NED velocities (m/s).
%   dt,     sampling interval.
%
% OUTPUT:
%   pos,    3x1 updated position vector [lat lon h] (rad, rad, m).
