This citation summarizes a one-page announcement of technology available for utilization. A microprocessor-controlled inertial navigation system is based upon a pendulous two-axis gimbal assembly. It is considerably simpler and less costly than conventional platform or strap-down inertial guidance and is therefore especially appropriate for small aircraft. ...FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Contact: Ames Research Center Mail Code: 200-11A Moffett Field, CA 94035.
