Abstract
The invention relates to a guidance system comprising estimation means able to estimate, in the course of flight, the attitude and the aerodynamic speed of a projectile, as well as the variations in the speed of the wind, on the basis of guidance orders formulated by guidance means of the guidance system, of a reference trajectory and of measurements obtained by measurement means of the system, using a model of the dynamic behavior of the projectile and a model of the dynamics of the wind.
