INTEGRATED COMPLEX FOR NAVIGATION AND CONTROL OVER DEEP- SEA VESSELS Russian patent published in 1998 - IPC

FIELD: sea navigation. SUBSTANCE: proposed integrated complex for navigation and control over deep-sea vessels has gimbal-free inertial measurement module and receiving equipment of satellite navigation system. Units of sensitive elements of gimbal-free inertial measurement module and receiving antenna of satellite navigation system are positioned at maximum possible distance from center of mass of vessel which gives selectivity by heading to gimbal-free inertial measurement module. The latter incorporates unit of sensitive elements with linear accelerometers and gyroscopes, unit generating parameters of translational movement, unit generating orientation parameters, unit transforming apparent velocity and unit of complex processing of information. EFFECT: increased accuracy and reliability of generation of heading, diminished mass and size characteristics. 3 dwg
