The single-axis inertial platform. The necessity for a stable reference coordinate system is a basic problem for all navigators. Basically, an inertial platform can be represented in block diagram form... In the single-axis case the stable element is suspended in such a way that it can rotate about an axis whose orientation is fixed with respect to inertial space. The orientation of the controlled member is defined by... an angle [theta](t). 1, record 1, English, - single%2Daxis%20inertial%20platform
