TL;DR: In this paper, the kinematic equations of motion are used as a system model with the gyro signals considered as known-forcing functions, and the Kalman-Bucy filter corresponding to this improved gyro model produces significantly smaller error variances in yaw angle than the orbital gyrocompass, largely through estimation of the yaw-gyro drift.
