Abstract

Different techniques used to improve the accuracy of measuring the angular rate of highly spinning vehicles about the rotation axis are considered. A method is proposed that requires no additional hardware expenses. The algorithms for implementing the proposed technique are analyzed, and the results of simulation are discussed.
