Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0745828A1] The roll position evaluation system uses a field strength vector (8) of the earth's magnetic field as a directional reference for determining the roll position of the flying object (1). The speed of the object is determined using e.g. NAVSTAR-GPS system. Pref. at least one magnetic field sensor (2) is used for providing the field strength vector of the earth's magnetic field at a given point on the flying object, used as a reference point for the roll position evaluation.
