In a method for determining the roll attitude of a rolling flying object having a radio receiver, in particular for guiding a ballistic flying projectile/rocket having roll compensation, the aim is to determine a line of sight between a transmitting source and the antenna and to determine the roll attitude therefrom.

Method for determining the roll attitude of a rolling flying object

The invention concerns a method of determining the position of roll of a rolling flying object, in particular for the guiding of a ballistically flying projectile/rocket with roll equalization. A field strength of the earth's magnetic field, in particular a field-strength vector, is used to determine the position of roll of the flying object.
