ABSTRACT:
Guidance is provided for a spinning projectile by measuring the magnitude of the angle between the spinning projectile and a target. This information is processed in conjunction with a body rate sensor to deduce the angular rate of the line of sight between projectile and the target. A means is provided for reducing the line of sight angular rate to zero, thus ensuring that the projectile will intercept the target.
