  • Abstract
    Range control accurate to one mile in 200 and lateral guidance accurate to three yards in 20 miles were achieved with German-developed V-2 rockets by using electric, mechanical, and electrochemical devices. This article reviews declassified information on the single-, double-, and triple-integrating accelerometers which were mounted on stabilized platforms in the rockets for this purpose.
