L'instrument fondamental d'une centrale inertielle est [...] l'accéléromètre, qui mesure l'accélération dans une direction privilégiée appelée axe sensible. Trois accéléromètres travaillent selon trois axes sensibles parfaitement déterminés par des gyroscopes associés. [...] La réalisation des centrales à inertie fait appel à des technologies complexes et évolutives. De l'accéléromètre linéaire à l'accéléromètre pendulaire asservi, du gyroscope intégrateur flottant au gyrolaser, de la plate-forme à trois axes à la centrale à composants liés (strap down), l'évolution constante est à la recherche de meilleures performances. [...] La navigation inertielle a évolué de façon continue tout au long des dernières années [...] 4, record 1, French, - navigation%20inertielle
