Angular Rate Sensor Program.
Abstract
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the technology associated with the Kearfott Angular Rate Sensor (KARS) and to verify that it was at a level of development such that a production version could be begun. The four phases of the effort were: (1) analysis of operational requirements and their impact on the design; (2) Perform design analysis for a design chosen to satisfy the specific set of requirements arrived at; (3) Define test requirements and data reduction techniques appropriate to the design and the application; and (4) perform various critical subassembly tests. These steps were completed satisfactorily. The following major tasks were also completed: A configuration of the KARS satisfying the requirements as set forth by DNA was analyzed and found to be satisfactory; A test program was defined and a data reduction technique was analyzed; and Various critical subassemblies were built and tested. The results of these tests verified the ability of the design to meet the environmental and performance requirements in the specification.
