FLIGHT International 13 February /96-» Is this what most engineers mean when they say RELIABILITY? An integrated inertial navigation system that can guide a nuclear-powered submarine for weeks in the ocean depths without surfacing. . That is reliability. The system is called the Mark II SINS. It was designed, developed, and produced by the Autonetics Division of North American Aviation. Today it guides the Free World's nuclear-powered,Polaris-carryingsub- marines, accurately giving them their position and velocity plus the direction of north at all times. It is but one of many achievements pioneered by the engineers and scientists at Autonetics in the area of integrated systems application with built-in cost effectiveness. These achievements by Autonetics have now set a new standard of reliability for the entire electronics industry. North American Aviation /Autonetics
