IRS. Inertial reference system. Navigation. Equipment that determines aircraft position by sensing aircraft accelerations with a gyrostabilized platform and provides the information to the RNAV [Area navigation] equipment or FMS [flight management system].  3, record 1, English, - gyro%20stabilized%20platform

Inertial Navigation System(INS)... Velocity and distance are computed from sensed acceleration. Two accelerometers, gyro stabilized, are mounted in a gimbal assembly commonly called the platform... The gyro stabilized platform on which the two accelerometers are mounted is kept level with respect to the earth(rather than fixed in space) by a compensating mechanism that allows for the fact that the earth is rotating and that it is round.  7, record 1, English, - gyro%20stabilized%20platform

Comment stabiliser un solide (plate-forme)? : Précisément au niveau des axes des anneaux supplémentaires, on peut mesurer les rotations infinitésimales du solide par rapport aux gyros fixes par rapport aux étoiles. La détection d'un écart angulaire traitée par un asservissement adéquat, commandera l'action d'un moteur qui annulera l'écart angulaire. Ainsi les axes plate-forme resteront toujours alignés sur ceux des gyros. C'est la notion de plate-forme stabilisée.  7, record 1, French, - plate%2Dforme%20gyrostabilis%C3%A9e

cardan’s suspension: An arrangement of rings in which a heavy body is mounted so that the body is fixed at one point; generally used in a gyroscope.  7, record 2, English, - gimbal%20mount

gimbal: A mechanical frame that permits an object mounted onto it to remain in a stationary position regardless of the movement of the frame.  11, record 2, English, - gimbal%20mount

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

... inertial platform control implies the continuous orientation of the gimbal system (cluster) to some predetermined reference frame, after an initial alignment. Platform heading can be maintained through signals to the gyroscope torquers originating in the navigation computer. For example, in a north-slaved platform, the gimbal cluster must be rotated in azimuth.  4, record 2, English, - gimbal%20mount

In the conventional gimbaled system, the platform contains three single-degree-of-freedom, or two two-degree-of-freedom gyroscopes, three linear accelerometers, and their associated electronics.  4, record 2, English, - gimbal%20mount

Système de navigation par inertie [...] La vélocité et la distance sont calculées à partir des accélérations détectées. Deux accéléromètres, stabilisés gyroscopiquement, sont montés sur un système de cardans appelé communément une plate-forme. L'un mesure les accélérations détectées sur un axe orienté nord-sud et l'autre, sur un axe orienté est-ouest.  8, record 2, French, - suspension%20%C3%A0%20cardan
