Claim 8:
9. The system of claim 1, wherein the controller is a first controller, the memory is a first memory, the processor is a first processor, the angular position or orientation data is first angular position or orientation data, the subsea control pod is a first subsea control pod, the disconnection system further comprising:
a second controller including a second processor and a second memory operably coupled to the second processor, the second controller located subsea and configured to:
receive, from the one or more motion reference units, second angular position or orientation data generated by the one or more motion reference units and associated with the flexible joint when the flexible joint is operably coupled to and disposed between the drilling riser and the LMRP, wherein the second angular position or orientation data includes the angular position or inclination of the lower drilling riser above the flexible joint and the angular position or inclination of the LMRP below the flexible joint;
compare the second angular position or orientation data with the first angular position or orientation data to detect a degree of consistency between the second angular position or orientation data and the first angular position or orientation data; and
generate a signal representative of or based on the detection of the degree of consistency between the second angular position or orientation data and the first angular position or orientation data.
