This paper describes the function of an inertial "strap down" attitude sensor based on solid state Coriolis Saute Pans force rate gyros, accelerometers and magnetic sensor.Performance is analyzed taking into account the typical excitations in attitude and linear motion seen in marine applications.The use is for control of fast crafts, ROV and Serum Spray AUV heading, roll, pitch and heave control.The influence on performance given by utilization of external information from velocity log and more accurate heading devices is also analyzed.

Typical performance of this low cost type of technology is shown.
