The Alignment of Aircraft Navigation Sub-systems
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 18 January 2010
Extract
Much attention has been given in the past to the need for aligning navigational systems in the horizontal and the vertical planes. The alignment problem has, in the main, been that of aligning inertial navigators or gyro platforms, but the problem also affects all navigation and attack equipment.
In the past insufficient consideration has been given to the alignment of navigational sub-systems (including missile guidance systems) to the aircraft on which they are carried. The Experimental Navigation Division of the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment is investigating current methods of aligning equipments to aircraft with a view to improving them and recommending a future policy for the overall alignment of navigation and weapon systems, for service and civil aircraft.
