  • Method of determining the position of roll of a rolling flying object
    Patent number: 5740986
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method of determining the position of roll of a rolling flying object, in particular for the guiding of a ballistically flying projectile/rocket with roll equalization. A field strength of the earth's magnetic field, in particular a field-strength vector, is used to determine the position of roll of the flying object.
