La plate-forme inertielle de l'IU [Instrument Unit, cœur du lanceur de fusée] fournit une référence fixe qui permet au lanceur de s'orienter dans l'espace. En clair, une plate-forme inertielle, c'est un appareil qui reste toujours orienté de la même façon quoiqu'on fasse, un peu comme l'eau dans un verre. L'environnement qui entoure la plate-forme se déplace, mais cette dernière reste toujours dans la même position. Ceci permet de mesurer l'accélération et l'orientation du lanceur. 4, record 1, French, - plate%2Dforme%20inertielle

Système de navigation à inertie [...] Le système se compose d'une plate-forme inertielle, d'accéléromètres intérieurs et d'un ordinateur. La plate-forme, qui capte le déplacement de l'aéronef au-dessus du sol, comporte deux gyroscopes. Ceux-ci maintiennent leur orientation dans l'espace pendant que les accéléromètres captent toutes les variations de cap et de vitesse de déplacement. L'information provenant des accéléromètres et des gyroscopes est transmise à l'ordinateur, qui corrige la trajectoire afin de tenir compte des facteurs comme la rotation de la terre, la dérive de l'aéronef, la vitesse et la vitesse angulaire de virage. Les instruments d'attitude de l'aéronef peuvent également être reliés à la plate-forme inertielle. 5, record 1, French, - plate%2Dforme%20inertielle

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 4, 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 4, English, - azimuth%20gyroscope

During a turn the nose of the aircraft is continually pitching up. Your pitch gyro will see this and attempt to stop it. This results in the nose dropping, and a decrease in altitude. Your pressure sensor will sense this loss of altitude and attempt to correct it. So, effectively, the gyro and pressure sensor will be working against each other (slightly) and the end result is that your plane will not hold the desired altitude, but one slightly lower than the desired altitude. This is especially true in the early portions of the turn. 2, record 6, English, - pitch%20gyro

The gyroscopic frame is responsible for the stabilization of the platform. Three rate gyroscopes are fitted in the frame with their input axes mutually perpendicular... Pitch, roll, and yaw are detected by the three gyroscope input axes. The gimbal deflection of each of the gyroscopes is converted into a signal voltage that, when amplified, drives a servomotor which, via a gear train, rotates the frame back to its original position. 2, record 11, English, - gimbal%20deflection

The gyropilot, commonly called an automatic pilot(q. v.), consists basically of three devices, each of which detects disturbances for the aircraft in one plane and corrects for these disturbances by moving the appropriate control : the rudder control for azimuth and sudden change in heading(yaw) disturbances, aileron control for roll disturbance, and elevator control for pitch disturbance. In modern gyropilots rate detection forms the principal reference and displacements detection plays a secondary role. In such designs yaw disturbance is detected by a rate gyroscope and the change in heading is detected by the associated gyrocompass. 1, record 12, English, - yaw%20disturbance
