    The inertial reference system (IRS) provides inertial navigation data to user systems using ring laser gyros instead of conventional rate gyros. It includes two inertial reference units containing three laser gyros and three accelerometers each, which sense angular rates and linear accelerations to compute position, attitude, headings, velocities, and other navigation data. The IRS outputs this data to displays and other systems. It aligns by determining local vertical and initial heading using accelerometer and laser gyro inputs during static conditions on the ground.

    INERTIAL REFRENCE SYSTEM

    The inertial reference system (IRS) provides inertial


    navigation data to user systems.
    It uses a ring laser gyro instead of the conventional
    rate gyro to sense angular rate about the roll, pitch and
    yaw axes.
    The system is termed strap down since its sensors are,
    in effect, directly mounted to the airframe.
    The inertial reference system (IRS) includes two
    inertial reference units (IRU), one inertial system
    display unit (ISDU), one mode select unit (MSU), one
    master caution unit (MCU), two digital/analog
    adapters (DAA) and two radio digital distance
    magnetic indicators (RDDMI).
    The IRS provides the inertial navigation data and the
    inertial flight control data to other systems.
    The main function of each IRU is to sense and
    compute linear accelerations and angular turning
    rates about the airplane's pitch, roll, and yaw
    axes.
     This data is used for pitch and roll displays and
    navigational computations.
    Each IRU contains three laser gyros and three
    accelerometers. These sense angular rates and
    linear accelerations, respectively.
    The sensed data is resolved to local vertical
    coordinates and combined with air data inputs to
    compute the following:
    (1) Position (latitude, longitude)
    (2) Attitude (pitch, roll, yaw)
    (3) True and magnetic heading
    (4) Wind speed and direction
    (5) Velocity
    (6) Accelerations
    (7) Angular rate data
    (8) Altitude
    The IRS outputs are displayed on the flight
    instrument system displays.
    They are also displayed on the flight
    management computer system control
    display unit (FMCS-CDU)
    Preselected parameters are also displayed
    on the inertial system display unit (ISDU).
    A. General
    The IRS provides basic heading and attitude
    reference accomplished through computations
    based on accelerometer and laser gyro sensed
    signals.
    Three accelerometers and three laser gyros are
    used. The accelerometers and laser gyros are of the
    strap-down type and are positioned in the inertial
    reference units so that they are oriented along each
    of the three axis of the airplane.
    This orientation allows the IRU to sense
    accelerations along and rotation about each of the
    three axis.
    Computer manipulation of the signals from
    all six sensors provide the basic heading and
    attitude reference signals along with present
    position, accelerations, ground speed, drift
    angle and attitude rate information.
    The first requirement which must be met
    for proper IRS operation is alignment.
    B. Alignment
    IRS alignment consists of determining local
    vertical and initial heading.
    Both accelerometer and laser gyro inputs are
    used for alignment.
    The alignment computations use the basic
    premise that the only accelerations during
    alignment are due to the earth's gravity; the only
    motion during alignment is due to the earth's
    rotation.
    Accelerations due to gravity are always
    perpendicular to the earth's surface and thus
    define the local vertical.
    This local vertical is used to fix the
    attitude data so that it is accurately
    referenced to vertical.
    Initially, only a coarse vertical is
    established. Once vertical is established,
    the laser gyro sensed earth rate
    components are used to establish the
    heading of the airplane.
    As the alignment continues, both the
    vertical reference and the heading
    determinations are fine tuned for
    maximum accuracy.
