Angular rate inertial sensors
To provide engineers with a basic knowledge of the various gyros technologies as well as their application fields.
The course lasts 4 days (24 hours) with presentation of numerous materials and a visit of a company producing fiber optic gyros.
To present the various technologies from the old ones to the latest state of the art.
Level: Basic
Course designed for engineers interested in the design or maintenance of GNC systems using inertial sensors for all types of vehicles.
