The paper presents the analysed and systemised results of the experimental study of laser gyro (LG) errors. Determines a structure of the resulting LG error, as a linear combination of the random processes, characterizing natural and technical fluctuations of difference frequency of the counter-propagating waves, with a random constant zero shift available in the sensor readings. Formulates the requirements for the structure and form of the analytic description of the error model. Shows a generalized model of the LG fluctuation processes, on the basis of which a mathematical model of LG errors was developed as an inertial sensor.

The model is represented by a system of the stochastic differential equations and functional relationships to characterize a resulting error of the sensor. The paper provides a correlation analysis of the model equations and final equations obtained for the mean-square values of the particular components, which allow us to identify the resulting error parameters. The model parameters are presented through the values of the power spectral density of the particular components. The discrete form of the model is considered, the convergence of continuous and difference equations is shown in fulfilling conditions of the limiting transition. Further research activities are defined.
