ABSTRACT:
A leveling system for a missile system includes a holder defining an xz-plane. Four flexure plate accelerometers are coupled to the holder at angles such that they are sensitive to movement in an xy-plane. The accelerometers all generate signals in response to movements of the flexure plates. An actuator activates an object control device in response to a platform control signal. A processor receives the accelerometer signals and generates the platform control signal in response thereto.
