The gyros are used to maintain the platform's inertial orientation by sensing rotations of the platform caused by vehicle-rotation-induced friction at the gimbal pivot points... One gyro-called the vertical gyro-is oriented so its input axes are aligned with the X and Y platform axes; its input axes provide IMU [Inertial Measurement Unit] platform roll and pitch stabilization. The second gyro is oriented so that one input axis lies along the platform's Z axis and the other lies in the X-Y plane. This gyro-the azimuth gyro-provides platform yaw stabilization with the Z input axis, while the second input axis is used as a platform rate detector for built-in test equipment.  3, record 1, English, - azimuth%20gyroscope

The sensors for angular velocity are vibrating gyroscopes (3 axes, to detect rotation and pitch/roll pendulations of the payload). An error signal is obtained differencing the signal from the azimuth gyroscope and a constant level settable from the telemetry, which controls the speed of rotation. Such error signal drives an analog PID [Proportional Integral Differential] circuit; the output of the PID is connected to the PWM [Pulse Width Modulation] driver supplying current to the pivot azimuth motors.  3, record 1, English, - azimuth%20gyroscope

IMU(Inertial Measurement Unit) Test. A common method to align the vehicle's IMU to "the world" is by measuring the local gravity vector with the IMU's accelerometers and comparing it to the theoretical local gravity vector. The angle between the 2 vectors is the vehicle's tilt angle.  1, record 2, English, - local%20gravity%20vector

Automatic Calibration of Transducers for Gimballed Inertial Navigation System on Uncontrolled Gyros. In the work a new approach to calibration of gimbaled Inertial Navigation system(INS) based on two electrostatically suspended gyros(ESG) is considered. The automatic calibration procedure of the inertial measuring unit(IMU) error models parameters, namely, the gimbal pick-off errors, is examined. The measurement errors for angle rotor position are described by equation. The gimbal pick-off errors are described by equation. The relationship between the gimbal pick-off errors and INS output errors is described by equation.  2, record 6, English, - gimbaled%20inertial%20system
