Abstract
A process for determining roll angle of a body launchable from a launcher. At least one inducing field is induced in the launchable body. A polarized carrier wave is transmitted from the launcher to the launchable body. The transmitted polarized carrier wave is detected in the launchable body with respect to rotation of the launchable body. The detected transmitted polarized carrier wave and the inducing field are analyzed to establish the roll angle as the launchable body leaves the launcher.
