Inertial stabilization

Inertially stabilized platform with a full hemisphere range is tested on a terrain vehicle. Slow motion sequences highlight stabilization performance. Orientation is estimated using a Kalman filter algorithm that fuses data from a range of sensors (gyros, accelerometers, magnetometers).
