The application of microprocessors to strapdown inertial navigation

Abstract

The paper describes the nature of strapdown navigators and the computational requirements associated with them. A current system design is then described in which three limited-capability microcomputers perform the tasks previously assigned to a powerful minicomputer. In addition, a technique employing dedicated microprocessors in place of conventional analog electronics in the gyroscope control loops is discussed.
