Abstract
A motion measurement system having three angle rate sensors and three accelerometers mounted on a platform fixed relative to and movable with a rotary antenna. An azimuth bearing angle measurement, which is geographically corrected by external signals is generated to locate detected targets. An antenna scan rate measurement is generated to regulate antenna rotational speed. An along-beam velocity measurement is generated for use by the radar's ground clutter tracker to initialize its velocity set point.
