<p>A missile guidance system employs a strap down inertial measurement unit with a separate accelerometer and star sensor that are moved for preflight accelerometer initialization. During flight, light is directed on the accelerometer and inertial measurement unit to produce on the star sensor images of the light source, the accelerometer and inertial measurement unit. The location of these images, which manifest the acceleration and position of the inertial measurement unit relative to the vehicle, are used to improve the accuracy of the inertial measurement unit data for vehicle guidance.</p> |
