ABSTRACT:
A gyroless vertical indicating device which tracks the local gravity vector independent of horizontal acceleration. A compound pendulum and an angular accelerometer each has a single rotational degree of freedom about a common axis. Rotational motion of the pendulum and of the angular accelerometer about the axis is coupled by a quartz fiber suspension therealong. A signal representative of the relative angular velocity between the pendulum and the angular accelerometer is fed back to a torquing system which maintains the pendulum's orientation along the local gravity vector.
