ABSTRACT:
A gyroscopic navigational installation for land and sea vehicles for provng characteristics of the trajectory of the vehicle. The installation in one embodiment includes a gimbal mounted on the vehicle and pivotable about an axis. A first gyro is rotatably supported by the gimbal about a rotational axis such that a gyro azimuth sensitivity axis is orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle and a gyro rolling sensitivity axis is parallel to the vehicle longitudinal axis. A controlled accelerometer is supported by the gimbal such that an accelerometer pitching sensitivity axis is parallel to the vehicle longitudinal axis and an accelerometer rolling sensitivity axis is parallel to the gyro rotational axis. In an installation according to another embodiment, a second gyro is mounted on the gimbal such that a pitching sensitivity axis thereof is parallel to the rotational axis of the first gyro.
