The objective of the three-axis inertial platform is to control the inertial angular velocity of the platform about each of three mutually perpendicular axes. Therefore, all-attitude inertial platform is a three-axis, four-gimbal arrangement, which includes one servo-driven auxiliary gimbal to provide freedom of maneuvering without gimbal lock. 1, record 1, English, - three%2Daxis%20inertial%20platform

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) [...] 3, record 1, French, - plate%2Dforme%20%C3%A0%20trois%20axes
