What the gyro act as in a strapdown system?(a) Angular rate sensors(b) Null sensors(c) Angle indicators(d) Orientation indicatorsI got this question during an internship interview.My question is based upon Strap Down and Gimballed Inertial Navigation Systems topic in section Satellite Radio Navigation& Inertial Navigation of Avionics

Answer»

The correct option is (a) Angular rate sensors

Easy explanation: In a strapdown system, the GYROS do not act as NULL sensors as in a gimballed system but act as INERTIAL angular rate sensors. Angle and orientation are computed from the measured angular rates by the algorithms that CALCULATE heading and orientation.
