Les programmes de Soutien aux gouvernements indiens ont été établis dans le début des années 80 pour aider les Affaires indiennes et du Nord Canada à fournir du soutien aux gouvernements des Premières nations. Les cinq programmes de Soutien aux gouvernements indiens sont distincts mais apparentés. Ils contribuent à payer les coûts permanents de leurs gouvernements et institutions et à renforcer leurs capacités. Les programmes de Soutien aux gouvernements indiens incluent: le Programme de financement de soutien des bandes, le Programme des avantages sociaux des employés des bandes, le Programme de financement des conseils tribaux, le Programme de services consultatifs des bandes et le Programme de développement professionnel et institutionnel.

The U.S. Global Positioning System (GPS) constellation of satellites plays a major role in regional and global studies of Earth. In the face of continued growth and diversification of GPS applications, the world wide scientific community has made an effort to promote international standards for GPS data acquisition and analysis, and to deploy and operate a common comprehensive global tracking system. As part of this effort, the International GPS Service (ISGS), along with a multinational membership of organizations and agencies, provides GPS orbits, tracking data, and other high-quality GPS data and data products on line in near real time to meet the objectives of a wide range of scientific and engineering applications and studies. 1, record 6, English, - International%20GPS%20Service

The modern concept of inertial navigation and inertial guidance systems has been made possible by the development of the precision gyroscope. It remains the heart of an inertial guidance system and system performance is directly related to the ability of the gyroscope to provide a precision inertial frame in which to reference the accelerometers used to measure the forces acting on the vehicle or missile being guided from a position A to a position B. 5, record 11, English, - inertial%20guidance%20system

Le pilote automatique [...] Au nombre de trois, les gyroscopes assurent la stabilisation d'une plate-forme sur laquelle sont montés des accéléromètres très sensibles, mesurant les écarts et orientant les gouvernes pour corriger ces écarts, sans envoi ou réception électroniques d'aucune sorte. En conséquence, aucun repère terrestre ou céleste ne leur est nécessaire. Ce système de guidage, dit par inertie, est donc invulnérable au brouillage électronique. 3, record 11, French, - syst%C3%A8me%20de%20guidage%20par%20inertie
