ABSTRACT:
A plurality of magnetic sensors mounted to a missile frame measure magnetic fields from magnets mounted to the movable portion of a seeker mounted in the missile frame. As the angle of attack changes, the field strength measured by each magnetic sensor changes. The magnetic sensors thus produce signals that may be calibrated and processed to determine the angle of attack.
