Centrales A.D.I.R.S et A.D.I.R.S./GPS. La tendance est de regrouper dans un même équipement les calculateurs des centrales anémobarométrique et inertielle pour obtenir des gains de masse, d'encombrement et de consommation électrique [...] Cette solution a été appliquée, en particulier sur l'A 320 [Airbus]. Elle a été rendue possible grâce à des capteurs et des calculateurs très fiables et de petite taille. [...] Il existe trois centrales ADIRS par avion. Ces centrales peuvent, dès maintenant [années 90], être couplées avec un récepteur du système G.P.S., pour améliorer la précision sur la mesure de la position de l'avion. 1, record 1, French, - centrale%20A%2ED%2EI%2ER%2ES%2E%2FGPS
