Abstract
A detailed development of the equations of motion for the stable member of a three-gimbal platform is presented. These equations are combined with models of the three platform control loops to formulate a model for the system. The system model is simplified and a digital simulation is developed for studying the motion of the stable member under conditions of dynamic vehicle angular environment. Test cases are presented for a typical inertial measurement unit.
