ABSTRACT:
Destabilization of a gyro-stabilized platform (such as employed for mounting an antenna on-board a ship) resulting from uncompensated yaw or rotation of the platform in azimuth from a fixed reference orientation is prevented by employing a pair of counter-rotating gyros for each stabilized axis and caging gyros having a spin direction opposite to the direction of rotation of the platform.
