Symposium Gyro Technology 1986; Proceedings of the Symposium, Stuttgart, West Germany, Sept. 23, 24, 1986

The present conference considers the procedures and tests of inertial surveying systems for geodetic point positioning, postprocessing techniques for dead-reckoning systems, a missile seeker gyro, an inertial reference system combining fiber gyros with GPS, a low-cost high-performance accelerometer, a perfect pendulous linear servo accelerometer, and glass waveguide ring resonators for optical gyros. Also discussed are inertial navigation without accelerometers, small ring-laser gyroscopes, the frequency response of a ring-laser gyro, fast orthogonal calibration of a ring-laser strapdown system, and inertial measurement unit building blocks.
