Analysis of a new inertial measuring system for aerospace vehicles
Abstract
A mathematical model is obtained for the Rim Inertial Measuring System (RIMS) which is mounted in a strapped-down configuration on a carrier vehicle. The RIMS can be used for measuring angular rates and linear accelerations of the carrier vehicle, and consists of two or more very small Annular Momentum Control Devices (AMCD's). Results of computer simulation are presented, which indicate that the RIMS can provide highly accurate angular rate measurements.
