    This system directly depends on the quality of the velocity signal. Delta Velocity Compensation: The compensation for forward acceleration is based on calculating the changes in average forward velocity. The result is subtracted from the vertical reference accelerometers for the pitch Watson Industries, Inc AHRS-S305 Rev J 03/22/2018...
