ABSTRACT:
A system is provided for remote determination of the attitude of a vehicle. he system utilizes two remotely located transmitting-receiving stations and two retroreflecting single plane roof prisms mounted on a vehicle which may exhibit high angular rates about a roll axis relative to the angular rates about two other orthogonal axes. The two remotely located transmitter-receiver stations provide tracking of the vehicle, continuously illuminating the vehicle with a light source located at each station so that the position of the object relative to the remote stations is obtained.
