The MSD 20 [gyro platform] is light, weighing only 7. 5 kg(...), measures only 260 mm x 193 mm x 160 mm(...) and outputs altitude, heading and speed without needing a magnetic heading input. The system consists of an inertial unit, a UT 382-50 digital computer and an electronics and interface unit. The inertial unit contains two GSD two-axis dynamic suspension gyros and three gas-damped dry accelerometers. 1, record 2, English, - dynamic%20suspension%20gyro

Très légère (7,5 kg) et de faible encombrement (260 x 193 x 160 mm), [la centrale inertielle SAGEM modèle MSD 20] donne les informations d'attitude, de cap et de vitesse sans qu'il soit nécessaire de lui fournir une information de cap magnétique. Elle comporte un bloc inertiel, un calculateur numérique modèle UT 382-50 et une électronique de servitude et d'interface. Le bloc inertiel est équipé de deux gyroscopes GSD à suspension dynamique accordée et à deux axes sensibles et de trois accéléromètres secs à amortissement gazeux. 1, record 2, French, - gyroscope%20%C3%A0%20suspension%20dynamique
