Aiming and pointing system for ground based weapons equipment

Year	Description
1992	Invention patented by Isadore R. Paley, George Galuschak, Thomas Beneventano, and Alex R. Jr. Strashinsky on July 5th, 1992. Abstract: Azimuth and elevation information relating to ground based weapons equipment is inputted to a north finding system. The system determines angular azimuth and elevation errors and transmits signals to a display arrangement for indicating the direction to rotate the system so as to eliminate the errors. As the system is aimed, a gyro included in the north finding system measures angular rotation about its input axis and accelerometers measure the change in tilt. The computer projects the rotations to the horizontal plane and determines the change in azimuth. This is a continuous procedure until all errors are eliminated.
