A broad spectrum of commercial and military vehicles employ some form of inertial measurement equipment. In general this equipment has a special purpose in that it was tailored for each specific application thereby resulting in high installation and maintenance costs. Recently the emphasis has been directed toward developing low cost building blocks from which the desired inertial functions can be derived. This paper describes a National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) program that combines inertial system sensor and computational advances into a flight demonstration configuration. Specifically, an inertial navigation system employing strapdown laser gyro angular rate sensors and a miniature, modular digital flight computer is described. The objective of this program is to demonstrate, via flight test evaluation, the capabilities of the advanced sensor and computer as they apply to future low cost, high reliability inertial system applications.
