• Fiber-Optic Gyrocompass.
• The NAVIGAT 2100 Fiber Optic Gyrocompass is the first solid-state, fully electronic digital gyrocompass system for marine application in strapdown technology designed for integrated bridges and advanced high-speed vessels. The fiber optic gyrocompass is a complete solid-state design with no rotating or other moving parts, It has a very high reliability and no maintenance requirements during its service life. The NAVIGAT 2100 fiber optic gyrocompass and attitude heading reference system is comprised of a sensor unit, a control and display unit, and an interface and power supply unit.

• Page Title: The Gyrocompass.
• The  Gyrocompass Introduction The  gyrocompass  was  developed  as  the  answer  to  the  need  for  an instrument  that  would  indicate  TRUE  NORTH  rather  than  MAGNETIC NORTH.  The  gyrocompass  is  now  the  main  source  for  determining direction. Operation The  basis  for  the  gyrocompass  is  the gyroscope. ... The  gyrocompass  must  be  lit  off  a minimum  of  4  hours  prior  to  use. ... It  is  desirable  to  lite  off  the gyrocompass  24  hours  prior  to  the scheduled  underway  time. ... Components The  gyrocompass  is  powered  by  electricity  and  consists  of  two  main components. ...  The  master gyrocompass  consists  of  a  control  cabinet,  power  supply,  speed  unit, alarm  unit,  and  transmission  units. ... Accuracy A  properly  functioning  gyrocompass  will  often  have  a  mechanical  error of  2°  or  less.  The  gyrocompass  must  be  checked  for  error  at  least  once daily  while  the  ship  is  under  way. ...

• IFOG Technology for Gyrocompass Applications.
• Abstract: Interferometric fiber optic gyros (IFOGs) were fabricated and evaluated to demonstrate the feasibility of their use as rotation rate sensors within replacement gyrocompass systems. ... The measured gyro performance was included within system simulations to predict overall system performance for a series of gyrocompass scenarios. The results of the simulations showed that when mechanized with IFOGs similar to those tested, the performance specifications of the AN/WSN-2/2A gyrocompass can be achieved without the need for a vertical axis turntable for periodic self-calibration. IFOGs were shown to be a strong candidate for the rotation rate sensors within upgrades and future Navy gyrocompass systems. ...

• gyrocompass .
• One of those means is to use a magnetic compass to continually adjust the gyrocompass. ...
• A gyrocompass is a compass which finds North by using an (electrically powered) fast spinning wheel and friction forces in order to exploit the rotation of the Earth. ...
• A gyrocompass is essentially a gyroscope, a spinning wheel mounted so that the wheel's axis is free to orient itself in any way. ... The crucial additional ingredient needed for a gyrocompass is friction: the gyroscope is in fact not completely free to reorient itself; if for instance a device connected to the axis is immersed in a viscous fluid, then that fluid will resist reorientation of the axis. ...
• Since the operation of a gyrocompass crucially depends on its rotation on Earth, it won't function correctly if the vessel it is mounted on is fast moving, especially in East-West direction.
• The gyrocompass was patented in 1885 by the Dutch Martinus Gerardus van den Bos; however, his device never worked properly. In 1903, the German Herman Anschütz-Kaempfe constructed a working gyrocompass and obtained a patent on the design. In 1908, the American inventor Elmer Ambrose Sperry patented a gyrocompass in the US. ...
