Inertial System Requirements for Deflection of the Vertical Compensations

Abstract

The object of this study was to produce information on the implementation details required to produce an inertial system suitable for gravity gradient measurements in a hypervelocity vehicle. The approach taken was to develop a deterministic model of an inertial system. Using actual hypervelocity trajectories, a gravity deflection signal was produced and passed through the inertial navigation model. Implementation errors such as time latencies and quantization were then compared to the velocity/position error produced by the gravity errors.
