French term

assiette du simbleautage

French to English Tech/Engineering Patents Optronics
Context:
o Estimation d’un modèle de correction d’azimut intégrant biais, et composantes périodiques modélisant les effets Hard et Soft Iron.
o Estimation d’un modèle correctif ajoutant aux paramètres précédents deux angles de rotation caractérisant l’assiette du simbleautage.

Still editing and this translated as:
characterizing the boresight attitude

Not sure how we`ve gone from assiette to attitude.
Any help much appreciated.
TIA Chris.

French term (edited): l’assiette du simbleautage
Selected

boresight reference plane

See reference comment below.
It probably refers to the characteristics (horizontality and rotation about the normal) of the reference plane (assiette) used to define the elevation and bearing of the boresight.
Only confidence 3 for lack of context.

Attitude measurement using a single gps receiver with two closelyspaced antennas
Abstract
https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2002068908A2/en
A system determines three-dimensional attitude of a moving platform using signals from two closely spaced Global Positioning System (GPS) antennas. The system includes three rate gyroscopes and three accelerometers rigidly mounted in a fixed relationship to the platform to aid in determining the attitude.

Mesure d'assiette a l'aide d'un seul recepteur gps dote de deux antennes rapprochees
Abstract
Système qui détermine l'assiette en trois dimensions d'une plate-forme en mouvement à l'aide de signaux émis par deux antennes GPS rapprochées. Ledit système comporte trois gyromètres et trois accéléromètres montés à demeure de manière fixe sur la plate-forme pour aider à déterminer l'assiette.

BoresightING attitude, being the attitude of the device at which boresighting is performed.

"Boresighting has practically been an expensive and time-consuming task. The most widely used traditional boresighting is based on a target board positioned at some distance from the aircraft. The aircraft needs to be jacked and horizontally leveled into a known attitude with respect to the target board. A borescope or laser pointer is placed in a sighting fixture located at the sensor/weapon station. The deviation between the station sighting line and the anticipated position of that station on the target board is measured to determine whether the station is properly aligned or not. The target board method is conceptually simple, but has a number of limitations. The equipment is big and bulky, and the aircraft must be jacked and leveled, thus the task is laborious and time-consuming"
