A B S T R A C T An inertial platform comprises a frame secured to a vehicle, an outer gimbal supported by the frame, and a second gimbal supported by the first gimbal. The two gimbal axes are perpendicular, and each have a pick-off and a torque motor. Gyroscopic means are carried on the inner gimbal and have three mutually perpendicular sensitive axes. Circuit means are provided which ensure that, in operation, the inner gimbal is maintained in an attitude in which first and second sensitive axes are horizontal and the third sensitive axis is vertical. Accelerometers are carried on the inner gimbal.
