Analysis of the heading sensitivity in the Litton inertial survey system
Abstract The straight line concept which has developed as a practical design restriction in intertial surveys with the Litton System is not only cumbersome in the planning stage but also often affects the economy of the survey adversely. A more flexible use of the system is therefore desirable. The analysis of test data taken along a well-controlledL-shaped traverse near Ottawa indicates that software modifications can eliminate a large part of the errors the to heading sensitivity. The paper discusses the design of an appropriate smoother and ways to find its model structure and its weighting from a series of test runs. Results show that the maximum standard deviation along anL-shaped traverse of100 km length is about half a metre. Further improvements are envisaged by changes in the survey procedures and a more effective use of the filter output. Optimal smoothing is not possible at present and would require a redesign of the filter output.
