摘要:

AbstractAN INERTIAL navigation system is a complex mechanism. As such, it was never invented; rather it evolved out of the work of many men. Newton gave us the laws of dynamics which enabled us to understand and use the accelerometer and gyroscope. Foucault's work with the gyroscope stimulated much thought and research on uses of the gyro. Anschütz‐Kämpfe and Sperry developed, independently, the gyrocompass. Then Schuler showed that the gyrocompass could be used as an accurate directional reference by elimination of the effects of horizontal accelerations. He did this by designing the instrument so that its pendulous element had a period of 84.4 minute's, the same as a pendulum with a length the radius of the earth.Boykow was apparently the first to say that an inertial navigation system could be built, based on double integration of acceleration. Then Reisch implemented the 84‐minute pendulum and designed an inertial navigation system for a non‐rotating earth. The Peenemünde rocket scientists were responsible for the first inertially guided flight. North American Aviation flew the first Schuler‐tuned system. And Draper, who has been active in inertial navigation and its greatest champion from the beginning, provided major improvements in theory an

摘要:

AbstractTHIS PAPER discusses the principles of rectilinear coordinate navigation, which permits the establishment of parallel aircraft tracks throughout the entire area served by a VORTAC or TACAN station, and its advantages over the present system of VOR radials. It also discusses the development of the Vector Analog Computer, a compact flight director which utilizes rectilinear coordinates to exploit the entire airspace and locate all aircraft in well‐defined airway

摘要:

AbstractTHE NAVIGATION requirements for an airborne photo mapping and surveying system are described and the equipment components necessary to meet these requirements are outlined. These components will be integrated into the Mapping and Survey Sub‐system, AN/USQ‐28, in the near future by the Air Force. The system will be used operationally by the Air Photographic and Charting Service (MA
