Abstract

The effect of the gyroplatform control error on the accuracy of the initial azimuth alignment of the inclinometer is analyzed. A mathematical model of the gyroinertial module of the inclinometer has been constructed and studied. A method to compensate for the initial azimuth alignment error caused by the gyroplatform control error is proposed.
