Marine gyroscope
A marine gyroscope is a device used on ships to measure rotation and orientation, helping to determine the vessel's precise position and heading even when GPS signals are unavailable. It operates based on the principles of angular momentum, using spinning masses or technology to detect changes in direction. This stability information is vital for navigation, steering, and maintaining accurate course over long distances. Marine gyroscopes are especially useful in challenging conditions like rough seas or GPS jamming, ensuring the ship's navigation system remains reliable and precise.
