Abstract: Methods and instrumentation for the determination of missile trajectory, attitude, warhead functioning and target intercept are discussed. Detailed descriptions are given of the IGOR, SMT, and RT-2 systems. The applicability of these instrument systems to other problems is shown, particularly in the field of space probe and satellite research.
