Abstract

The basic concept of case and cluster rotation in inertial navigation (IN) systems is introduced, and the reduction in the errors caused by changes in gyro and accelero-meter biases is illustrated. The general properties of cluster rotated systems are summarized and it is concluded that, although errors inside the Schuler loops may be drastically reduced by rotation, care must be taken to avoid error sources outside the loops.
