Developmental Test of the Honeywell Laser Inertial Navigation System (LINS)

Abstract

This technical report documents the results of flight test of the Honeywell lLaser Inertial Navigational System (LINS), an engineering model of a ring laser gyro strapdown inertial navigation system. The purpose of the testing was to demonstrate strapdown laser inertial navigation system advanced technology and to evaluate the LINS as a potential candidate system to meet future, moderate accuracy, medium cost, inertial navigator needs. The testing was considered developmental, rather than verification, within the meaning of applicable DOD/DDR and E directives.
