ABSTRACT:
In the present invention the inertial measurement unit system comprises a basic strapdown inertial measurement unit and an isolated fourth gyro strapped to a rotatable platform which is commanded to rotate at a rate equal to the spin rate of the vehicle body but in an opposition direction. The rotatable platform is controlled substantially by a control signal to cause the rotatable platform to turn at a rate substantially equal to the roll of the vehicle body but in an opposite direction. A signal processing means operates on (i) the output of an inertial navigational system computer representative of the rate of rotation of the inertial measurement unit along the roll axis, (ii), the output of the isolation gyro, and (iii) an output of a counter which counts the complete revolutions of the rotatable platform. In turn, an error signal is provided which is related to the rotation measurement error of the first rotation signal. In turn the error signal is fed into the navigational system computer for correction of the navigational system data for correcting that data affected by scale factor stability of the roll gyro of the inertial measurement unit.
