Performance Evaluation of the Honeywell GG1308 Miniature Ring Laser Gyroscope

Abstract

This report describes the results of the performance evaluation of a Honeywell GG1308 miniature Ring Laser Gyroscope (RLG). The tests include turn-on and cold start, bias drift, scale factor, scale factor linearity, thermal transients and effects of dither compensation. The gyroscope demonstrated excellent high-rate performance although significant scale factor deviations were noted during temperature variations. Instrument design characteristics and areas of potential future investigation are also discussed.... Ring Laser Gyroscope (RLG), Strapdown, Inertial Sensor, Navigation
