Abstract:

A surveying feasibility system was assembled using a modified Honeywell GEANS Airborne Navigation System utilizing Electrostatically suspended gyros. The system utilized a conventional mini-computer and was mounted in a truck. The unit was then used to survey at St. Petersburg, Florida and at White Sands, New Mexico. This test program showed performance of one meter with the identification of several error source in the software area, which when incorporated should reduce the errors to less than 0.1 meters.
