Abstract
The system may be used, for example, to initialize the inertial unit of a missile from the inertial unit of a vehicle carrying the missile. According to the invention, a servo-control circuit is provided for slaving data in the missile inertial unit on data from the carrier inertial unit, together with a Kalman filter connected in parallel with said servo-control circuit and designed to identify harmonization errors between the two inertial units.
