ABSTRACT:
A gyrocompassing system intended for land based equipment requiring north reference information includes a novel gyrocompass implementation which enables utilization of high grade inertial sensors while achieving the desired goal of moderate cost. The north finding system is designed to provide high accuracy with fast reaction time over a wide temperature range without the aid of heaters and other auxilliary equipment. The arrangement is specifically configured to tolerate settling and/or oscillatory base motion without additional reaction time or degradation of gyrocompassing accuracy.
