Marine Gyrocompass-To-Navigator Commonality Is the Key to an Effective Design

Robert C. Anthold

Abstract:	A marine inertial navigation system with three different operating modes, depending on software selection and hardware options has been developed. This significant advancement that allows the system to perform as a stabilized gyrocompass or in two different inertial navigator configurations was achieved primarily because of the application of commonality techniques. Maximum utilization of design commonality has reduced costs and spares and improved maintenance capability and equipment adaptability.
