A work vehicle gyroscopic boom assembly control system utilizes gyroscopically-measuredangular velocity data to control boom movement. The work vehicle includesan operator interface, a boom assembly, a first gyroscope, and a controller.The boomassembly includes a first boom element coupled to a first actuator, which iscontrollableto rotate the first boom element about a first pivot joint. During operationof the workvehicle, the controller receives an operator request for boom assemblymovement viathe operator interface, converts the operator request to a target angularvelocity of thefirst boom element, and selectively commands the first actuator to adjustrotation of thefirst boom element based, at least in part, on the target angular velocity anda currentangular velocity of the first boom element sensed by the first gyroscope.
