Passive Line-of-Sight Stabilization for an Infrared Sensor.

Abstract

The use of passive gyroscopic stabilization in the vibrational environment of a P-3 aircraft is described theoretically. The conclusion is reached that even a fairly heavy instrument (30 kg) can have its line of sight stabilized to a precision of 100 microradions or better. (Author)
