Lightweight digital computers permit the system to eliminate the gimbals, creating strapdown system, and are called so because their sensors are simply strapped to the vehicle. In a strapdown inertial navigation system the accelerometers are rigidly mounted parallel to the body axes of the vehicle. In this type of system, the gyroscopes do not provide […]

Settling Period of Gyro
In our earlier posts, we discussed about the free gyro, Gyroscope conversion and its damped/undamped oscillations. In this post, we will discuss about Settling period of Gyro. When the compass is settled, the spin axis has a constant tilt. The delaying action of the damping arrangement will therefore have no effect as there is no […]
