Paper Abstract
Over thirty five years have elapsed since the fiber optic gyro was proposed by Vali and Shorthill. In those
decades, fiber gyros have matured. They are competing head to head with existing technologies such as
mechanical gyros and RLGs in tactical, navigation and strategic applications and are winning. Northrop
Grumman has produced the majority of fiber optic gyros and fiber optic gyro based inertial products in the
world. This paper will cover the various Northrop fiber gyro products, the platforms they are used on, as well
as production and top level system data.
