Strapdown Technology Development.

Abstract

This effort was intended to provide an opportunity for becoming familiar with strapdown inertial navigation hardware and the software necessary for alignment and navigation. To that end a Honeywell H-478 inertial sensor assembly was selected for experimentation. A significant portion of the effort was involved with designing and building an interface unit to permit outputs to be processed on the PDP 11/40 computer. An alignment computer program was written to provide coarse and fine alignment using H-478 sensor output data. Also the output data was used to drive a strapdown navigation computer model.
