Miniaturized gyrocompass
Abstract
This report summarizes the exploratory development efforts that were directed toward using gyro technology to define true north to an accuracy of 2 milliradians within 2 minutes of time. Several different approaches were explored. The report concludes that a device could be fabricated that would meet stated accuracy and response times.
