Shop Level Maintenance Of Inertial Platforms Without A Surveyed Site, Max E. Bott

Masters Theses

"The initial installation of a rotary tilt table for an aircraft inertial navigation system test facility includes accurately aligning the rotary tilt table to local level and true north coordinates. The survey techniques presently employed are an encumbrance during installation and complicate remote deployment. The objective of this thesis is to determine if an inertial platform or platforms can practically be used to replace the role of the survey techniques in the rotary tilt table alignment. The construction, capability and operation of a rotary tilt table are reviewed. The tests necessary to test and calibrate an inertial platform are outlined, …
