ABSTRACT:
A control system for a guided missile or projectile in which signals to compensate the steering commands of the guided missile or projectile for the effects of gravity are dynamically produced and stored while the missile or projectile is in flight. The system includes a gyroscope mounted in the missile or projectile for establishing an attitude reference axis independent of the attitude of the missile or projectile. Gravity compensation signals are generated in response to sensed angular differences between the attitude at the missile or projectile and the reference axis, and the generated gravity compensation signals are stored. The missile or projectile steering commands are then compensated for gravity effects by use of the stored gravity compensation signals during the guidance mode of operation.
