Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0992758A1] The method involves multiplying a first correction factor (K) with a speed difference, and adding a result to the division time, whereby the speed difference is formed from a currently measured projectile speed and a nominal speed. The inquiry of the current projectile speed and the correction of the division time is performed after its launch, whereby the speed measurement results in form of the measurement of a first time (t) which requires a certain amount of rotations (Nm) of the projectile, and whereby the speed difference is formed through a difference between the first time and a predetermined second time (tm). An Independent claim is also included for an arrangement for carrying out the above method.
