The application of fiber-optic gyros for space use is becoming very attractive due to the significant progress made in recent years in the McDonnell Douglas development of producible fiber-optic modules which can be environmentalized to withstand a wide range of vibration, shock, and temperature effects. This modular approach has improved the reliability of the fiber-optic gyro and reduced its complexity and fabrication time. Currently, rate control devices are being developed. Attitude control systems should be available in the next few years. To provide a benchmark for evaluation of the applica-tions for the fiber-optic gyro, performance and technology comparisons of both the fiber-optic analog and digital gyro with the ring laser gyro is presented.
