INTRODUCTION
Vibrating gyroscopes represent an important new inertial technology today, not only because some of them have demonstrated their ability to deliver very high performance (they are then said to be inertial class), but above all, in other so-called "solid-state" technologies (laser and fiber-optic gyroscopes), gyroscopes do not have the same ability as vibrating gyroscopes to be miniaturized and manufactured at low cost.
This is why this vibrating gyroscope technology continues to be the subject of intensive research in the USA, Russia, Europe and Japan, for both civil applications (antenna stabilization, camcorder stabilization, car navigation, etc.) and military applications (vehicle guidance, space stabilization, avionics, etc.).
