Full Description
Scope
This standard defines requirements for a single-axis interferometric fiber optic gyro (IFOG), including any necessary electronics, to be used in an attitude control system, an angular displacement measuring system, an angular rate measuring system, or other such system.
Purpose
This standard provides a common meeting ground of common terminology and practice for manufactures and users. The user is cautioned not to over-specify -- only those parameters that are required to guarantee proper instrument performance in the specific application should be controlled. In general, the specification should contain only those requirements that can be verified. Part II of this standard can be used as a guide in the preparation of a separate Fiber Optic gyro test specification. In general the intent is for the specification writer to ensure consistency and traceability between Part II test procedures and Part I requirements for performance, mechanical, electrical, environmental, and quality assurance.
Abstract
Revision Standard - Active - Draft.Specification and test procedures for a single-axis interferometric fiber optic gyro (IFOG) for use as a sensor in attitude control systems, angular displacement measuring systems, and angular rate measuring systems are defined. The test procedures are derived from those presently used in the industry.
