Device employs only 2 gyro wheels and 3 gimbals to effect control of 3 components of vehicle angular rate; moderate degradation of transient response is experienced, due to increased cross-coupling between vehicle axes; it is shown that gyro controller is efficient device when its energy requirements are compared to those for flywheel controller; digital simulation results presented illustrate time response of attitude control system employing advanced gyro controller.
