EVALUATION OF INERTIAL SENSORS AND SYSTEMS FOR AIRCRAFT APPLICATIONS,

Abstract

Component evaluations performed at the Naval Air Development Center are directed primarily towards aircraft applications, although much of the information obtained is directly applicable to missile problems. Tests performed are described in detail, among them warm-up time, static drift test with power spectral density analysis, and change in bias. A more detailed analysis of tumbling data is performed. Wheel performance parameters are monitored as indicators of gyro life. Accelerometer tests are also described, including the extensive use of 72 point and 6 point tumbling tests, temperature cycling, magnetic sensitivity tests, and warm-up test. (Author)
