I didn't realize that sierra flight systems used a laser gyro.  They really have come down in price.  My uncle Bob Warwood was very involved in the first laser gyro.  He told me that the bigwigs at Honeywell at the time didn't think that it was going to work.  He also shared the patent for the radar altimeter.

Just some trivia.
