Abstract :
This paper describes the AN/ASN-9¿a miniaturized, dead-reckoning navigational computer. The design premises which allow its size reduction are explained; problem solution equations are given; and system functional diagrams are presented. Some of the techniques employed in achieving its small size are described, as are certain areas of its application.
