High Reliability, Maintenance-Free INS Battery Development

Abstract

This report documents the findings of a study undertaken to develop a high reliability, maintenance-free battery (HRMFB) for application in the Litton LTN-72 and Delco Carousel IV Inertial Navigation Systems (INS). The results indicated that the sealed lead-acid battery technology is the best candidate from a cost and risk standpoint. A specification sheet was developed detailing the performance and test requirements for the proposed INS HRMFB.... INS, Battery, HRMFB.
