Abstract

A redundant inertial measuring system includes three strapdown platforms each having two inertial sensors. The sensitive axes of the sensors are discretely disposed relative to the faces of a dodecahedron. The sensors and their associated electronics are physically and electrically separated from each other within each of the platforms.
