Semi-Active Laser Seeker Gyroscope

摘要

A gyro in which an elastomeric material is used as a spherical bearing surface in an air bearing type gyro to sustain 12,5000 g set back acceleration level during gun launch and have the capability of surviving the launch phase in a non-functioning mode and then being operative in post-launch lower-g environments as a stabilized/torquing seeker capable of tracking laser illuminated moving target so as to enable the gyro to be used for guided projectile systems.
