Abstract
A study is made in this paper of the feasibility of continuously calibrating the drift rate of the inertially stabilized azimuth gyro of a navigation system while the navigation system is in an aircraft flight environment. Consideration is given to environments consisting of wind gusts and normal aircraft maneuvers during the cruise phase of flight. Techniques which decouple the drift measurement process from the environment are advanced, and gyro wheel speed modulation is employed to effect the drift calibration without precise knowledge of the vehicle motion.
