A Telemetry System For The Measurement Of The Yaw Of A Projectile Throughout The Major Part Of Its Trajectory

Abstract

A telemetry system is described which allows measurement of the yaw of spinning projectiles at all angles of fire over long trajectory distances by continually sensing the attitude of the projectile with respect to the sun and transmitting this information back to the ground in the form of a pulse position modulated signal. The system has been successfully tested in extensive firing trials.
