Abstract

Inertial Navigation Systems (INS) are integral to modern technology, yet their significance often goes unnoticed. Key to an INS are Gyroscopes, which detect rotation rates. Initially mechanical, they became outdated with advancing technology,
prompting the development of Optical Gyroscopes. This paper explores various Gyroscope technologies, emphasizing Fiber Optic Gyroscopes, and delves into their operational theory and associated challenges.
