A Discussion of Coning Errors Exhibited by Inertial Navigation Systems.
Abstract
The mechanisms by which so called 'coning errors' occur in a strapdown inertial navigation system are explained by reference to a single mathematical theorem. Typical values of coning errors are derived and ae shown to be significant for a 1 nm/h inertial navigator. Various methods of evaluating and reducing coning errors are discussed. Originator-supplied keywords include: Dither; Ring laser gyroscope; and Vibration.
