| 释义 |
A fibre optic gyrocompass is a compass and instrument of navigation. It is sometimes part of a ships set of compasses, which also include a conventional gyrocompass and a magnetic compass. The compass comprises a Fibre optic gyroscope sensor, which links to a computer and then locates north. This in turn links to a compass readout to provide a heading.[1] It has very high reliability and requires little maintenance during its service life.[1] The entire system usually includes a sensor unit, a control and display unit, and an interface and power supply unit. It is often linked with the ship's other navigational devices including GPS. HistoryThe first generation of gyrocompass was based on fast-spinning discs and was requiring complex mechanics such as gimbals of fluid suspended platform. The first practical apparatus were installed onboard vessels at the beginning of the 20th century. The fibre optic gyrocompass is the first strapdown gyrocompass. The sensors are simply strapped to the chassis of the gyrocompass, this avoids the need for complex mechanics. The first fibre optic gyrocompass appeared on the market at the end of the 20th century but did not really supersede the original mechanical gyrocompass which remained the dominant technology on the market. A second generation of strapdown gyrocompass based on HRG technology, is now also available on the market[2] See also
