ABSTRACT:
A doppler radar/inertial system is provided for producing navigational and fire control information for an aircraft, and which includes means for developing vertical reference signals accurately at one location and for then transferring the signals to a second location without incurring errors due to aircraft flexure. The system includes high quality accelerometers and gyroscopes mounted at one location in the aircraft for developing accurate vertical reference signals; and a high quality accelerometer and low cost gyroscope at a second location where accurate vertical reference information is required. The system includes circuitry for comparing the output of the high quality accelerometer at the second location with the accelerometer outputs at the first location, the difference of which is a function of the error in the vertical reference at the second location, as indicated by the low cost gyroscope. The system includes further circuitry which is responsive to the output differential of the accelerometers to correct the error in the reading of the low cost gyroscope at the second location.
