Abstract:

Two Litton MS-4 Multisensors, SN 17 and SN 23 were tested at the Central Inertial Guidance Test Facility, 6585th Test Group, Holloman AFB, New Mexico during the period from November 1973 to June 1975. The purpose of the tests was to collect performance and environmental data on the instruments. The laboratory tests included gyro and accelerometer coefficient determination drift tests voltage, frequency and temperature sensitivity tests and scale factor linearity tests. A hot soak was the only environmental test performed due to failure of one instrument and damage to the other. The report contains test results for the complete laboratory phase of testing on Multisensor SN 17 and results of coefficient determination and drift tests on Multisensor SN 23.
