ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a vertical velocity signal and an integration signal, respectively, of two detected ambient conditions. The signals are summed, in a selectable ratio, and compared with a predetermined altitude set point. When there is a difference between the summed outputs and the altitude set point, an altitude control signal is provided to control a vertical propulsion system of an object whose altitude is to be maintained above a terrain.
