A gyro-stabilized platform system, using restrained gyros, is well suited for automatic leveling because of the characteristics of the gyro-platform-servo combination.

The restrained gyro-stabilized platform with reasonable response characteristics operates with an approximate equation of motion, neglecting transient effects, as follows: Af where U is a torque applied about the output axis of the controlling gyro.

The platform angle **yf is the angle about which the gyro is controlling.

Thus if the gyro and platform-controller combination maintains the platform with zero angular deviation about the **yf axis, the system can be rotated with an angular velocity Af if a torque is supplied to the gyro output axis Aj.

Finally, when the accelerometer output is zero, the entire system remains stationary, and the platform is, by definition, leveled.

The platform is initially off level by the angle Aj.

The angle generated by the platform servo **yf multiplied by G is the effective acceleration acting on the accelerometer.

Finally, the gyro-stabilized platform characteristic is represented by Af.

The system as indicated in Fig. 7-2 is fundamental and simple because the transient effects of both the platform servo and the accelerometer have been neglected.

The equation relating input acceleration to output platform angle is Af.

When the system is arranged for automatic leveling, the platform angles respond to any horizontal components of acceleration acting on the accelerometers.

The effect is that the platform returns from an off-level position at a rapid rate until it is nearly level, at which point the platform is controlled by a proportional servo with low enough frequency response so that the noise has little effect on the leveling process.

The automatic leveling system described in this section is readily adaptable to a gyro-stabilized platform consisting of three integrating gyros.

This leveling system will hold the platform on-level, automatically, as long as the system is actuated.
