The heart of the Meridian gyrocompass is the element, which is a dynamically tuned gyroscope (DTG). The DTG is a high precision technology which, due to its size, accuracy, reliability and shock resistance, is used in many different applications.The guaranteed accuracy of the Meridian gyrocompass is obtained through specialised high quality engineering. This gives exceedingly stable heading and means that the gyro will follow a high turn rate of up to 200\u00b0 per second.
