INERTIALLY STABILIZED GIMBAL PLATFORM

摘要

An inertially stabilized gimbal platform is disclosed wherein the gyros used in such system operate about their mechanical null positions and control the gimbal drive means through an electronic control section. The electronic control section includes a control signal which is combined with the gyro output to provide a drive signal for the gimbal drive means. The control signal is proportional to the offset between the electrical null position and the mechanical null position of the gyro. The control signal may be modified in accordance with platform command signals to orient the platform in a desired attitude.
