Apparent Heading Error Induced by the Roll and Pitch of the Towed Body in a VDS System.

Abstract

This memorandum evaluates the effect on a heading indicator of the towed body's motion through roll and pitch movements. The emphasis is on a heading indicator, because the mathematical presentation in this memorandum applies to a specific geometric configuration, which may or may not be used for actual measurements.
