ABSTRACT:
Apparatus including two two-degree-of-freedom gyroscopes and at least two accelerometers mounted on a turntable on a vehicle. The turntable can be positioned about a vehicle vertical axis in one or the other of two positions 180 degrees apart for alignment. After alignment, the turntable is caged into its zero degree position, and the instruments thereafter operate in a strap-down mode with the yaw, roll and pitch angles of the vehicle computed by computer mechanisms which are sensitive to signals from the gyroscopes and accelerometers.
