ADVANCED INERTIAL GYRO TEST EQUIPMENT DESIGNS.

Abstract

The report discusses the most advanced test equipment designs as tools for accomplishing precision gyro testing. Behavior of the single-degree-of-freedom gyroscope is analyzed with respect to electronic equipment and ambient variations. Long-term reliability and non-interruptible runs are investigated, with methods and feasibility included. Emphasis is placed on the need for compatibility of the testing system electronics with the navigation system electronics so that calibration constants and design parameters remain identical.
