✦ Synopsis

ABSmnAC'r: It is well known that one of the signi~cant contributors to inaccuracy of spin-stabilized artillery rockets is the so-called mallaunch or initial cross-spin (~o) of the rocket. This refers to the time rate of change of the angle @) which measures the direction of the rocket axis relative to the boreline of the launcher, the initial value (~o) being measured at the instant the rocket is disengaged from the launcher.
