The dithering is built into the device so it is transparent to the user. Why do you see this as a problem?

Stiction is stiction it does not matter what type of device. I thought all laser gyros had to have some form of dithering.

I don't know what you mean by the term "Zero Lock Gryo". I found some information indicating Litton had a system using this term, but didn't find anything that really explained how it worked. (just sales mumbo jumbo) Can you please explain that more or post links please?
