SIGNIFICANT strides have been made in the development of advanced electrically-suspended inertial components and systems capable of utilizing them. At Honeywell, considerable contract support by both the United States Navy and the United States Air Force, in addition to Company-sponsored effort, has resulted in Electrically-Suspended Gyros that have achieved accuracies of one or two orders of magnitude better than those of the best conventional gyros.
