Abstract (en)

The process involves determining orientation of speed vector of a projectile (1) and applying a control law and a control algorithm for re-orienting the projectile towards its target (12). Three components of terrestrial magnetic field in a reference mark of the projectile is measured and utilized in the control law and algorithm as fixed reference mark for orienting the reference mark with respect to a terrestrial reference mark. An independent claim is also included for a device for guiding and/or steering a projectile towards a target.
