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

Comme de nombreux autres systèmes de l'EF2000 [Eurofighter 2000], le système PIRATE a été développé par un consortium de sociétés des quatre pays créateurs de l'EF2000. Il intègre des détecteurs IR CCD, un processeur de signaux analogiques, des processeurs de contrôle, des interfaces à bus ultra-rapides, des logiciels et des matériels pour l'extraction des données de poursuite, un miroir orientable stabilisé par gyroscope ainsi qu'un système vidéo de poursuite automatique. 4, record 2, French, - stabilis%C3%A9%20par%20gyroscope
