HRG gyrocompass

A HRG gyrocompass is a compass and instrument of navigation. It is the latest generation of maintenance free instrument.

The HRG gyrocompass is a complete unit, which unlike a conventional compass, has no rotating or other moving parts. It uses Hemispherical Resonant gyroscope, accelerometers and computers to compute True north. It has an outstanding reliability.[1] Its operational Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) values are improved over a Fiber Optic Gyrocompass and also conventional mechanical gyrocompass. The HRG gyrocompass is also immune to several environmental conditions.
