Schneider, William P.2022-06-282022-06-28197013805991https://hdl.handle.net/10657/10070A 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.application/pdfenThis item is protected by copyright but is made available here under a claim of fair use (17 U.S.C.
