ABSTRACT:
A stabilized platform which is suitable for stabilizing the bore-sight of a communications antenna or the like, is provided with a pendulous mounting which holds the structure erect. A pair of gyroscopes give active control of the attitude of the platform, and are coupled to the platform via a gear arrangement. When the platform is rotated rapidly (to unravel feed cables or to permit overhead tracking of the antenna) the gyroscopes experience a much lesser degree of movement which is determined by the gearing ratio, such that the gyroscopes are not destabilized.
