Abstract
A system for and method of determining angular position (e.g. pitch) of a vehicle. In accordance with an embodiment, a first angular rate of rotation of the vehicle about a first axis of rotation is detected using a first angular rate sensor mounted to the vehicle. A second angular rate of rotation of the vehicle about a second axis of rotation is detected using a second angular rate sensor mounted to the vehicle. The second axis of rotation is substantially orthogonal to the first axis of rotation. The angular position of the vehicle is determined based on a ratio of the first angular rate of rotation of the vehicle and the second angular rate of rotation of the vehicle.
