This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A team of scientists at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) has developed and laboratory-demonstrated a low-cost, highly sensitive prototype fiberoptic gyroscope that may revolutionize the field of rotation sensors. The prototype gyroscope demonstrates a rotation sensitivity comparable to existing gyros, but has the potential to cost substantially less. Fiberoptic gyros could be used for high-precision air and shipboard inertial navigation, aircraft flight control, and industrial well-logging. In preliminary laboratory tests, the unique NRL sensor performed 'almost perfectly' by indicating a high-sensitivity rotation detection, low-noise level, and a good long-term zero-point stability. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Navy Domestic Technology Transfer, Code E411, Naval Surface Weapons Center, Dahlgren, Virginia 22448.
