The confidence limits for the pointing error of a gimbaled sensor relative to an off-gimbal reference are derived in this paper. The various misalignment angles and errors that lead to discrepancies between the indicated and the actual pointing direction are discussed in detail. A mathematical model is developed from which the statistics of the pointing error are derived. The confidence limits are obtained for a variety of cases.
