between the case and DRU coordinate frames is specified by a
coordinate frame code as listed in Appendix I. There are
separate coordinate frame codes for Orientation 1 and Orientation

reference coordinate frame is an orthogonal coordinate set

downward along the local vertical. Grid north equals geodetic

the DRU is installed on a pointing device, the vehicle boresight
angles are the angles when the pointing device is stowed for
vehicle travel.
The vehicle boresight angles are nominal values because
variations may occur with prime system manufacturing tolerances,
with different weight distribution in the vehicle, with vehicle
turning and crabbing, and inexact repositioning when a pointing
