Abstract

A spin rate measurement device for rotating missiles. Preferably, three micromechanical spin rate sensors whose three spatial axes are aligned at right angles to one another, each of which is designed to be excited, read and reset capacitively, are arranged on a single platform that can be rotated by means of a servo loop for rotation decoupling. The spin rate measurement device is distinguished by high bias and scale factor stability that can be checked at any time.
