This paper describes the theory of operation and the development status of a passive fiber optic gyro developed at Lear Siegler, Inc./Instrument and Avionic Systems Division under IR and D founds over the past six years. this Optical Rate Sensor (ORS) concept is hybrid in that it incorporates LSI built-integrated optics devices in conjunction with a multi-turn fiber opic ring. We then describe a design of a strapdown IRU prototype intended for integration with a modern production strapdown IMU for future flight test evaluation. The hardware sytsem described will have performance suitable for military applications including flight stabilization, midcourse guidance, attitude and heading reference, and short term unaided navigation.
