ABSTRACT:
A gyrocompass navigation system for land vehicles is disclosed which includes self-contained heading and navigation means. The system determines the orientation of the vehicle with respect to grid north; provides land navigation information in universal transverse mercator (UTM) coordinates (northings and eastings); and provides range and bearing information for destination location. The system features a single degree of freedom gyroscope for both north seeking and navigational modes and further includes simplified means for tilt measurement and temperature compensation.
