1987年2月25日在伦敦召开了激光陀螺仪和光纤陀螺会议。惯性导航系统现在是大多数军用和民用飞机中的标准设备。然而,历史悠久的机械陀螺仪很可能会被光学传感器即环形激光陀螺或更近的光纤陀螺所代替。环形激光陀螺从构思到工作系统推出大约花了十年的时间。又过了十年才被人们所采用(尽管主要是民用,很少军用)。目前光纤陀螺也遵循同样的模式。哪一种是以后追求的正确技术呢?是老式的铁轮型?还是环形激光陀螺仪?光纤陀螺 February 25, 1987 in London held a laser gyroscope and fiber optic gyroscope meeting. Inertial navigation systems are now standard equipment in most military and civilian aircraft. However, a long history of mechanical gyroscopes is likely to be replaced by optical sensors, ie ring laser gyros or closer fiber gyros. Ring laser gyro from concept to the introduction of the working system took about 10 years. It took another decade for people to adopt it (albeit mostly civil and rarely military). FOG currently follows the same pattern. Which is the right technology for the future? Is the old iron wheel? Or ring laser gyro? Fiber Optic Gyro
