corresponding rates

English Tech/Engineering Ships, Sailing, Maritime
" The xxx is an advanced ring laser gyro inertial navigation system, suitable for operating on board modern naval vessels.
The equipment is designed to provide continuous and automatic data outputs of ship's heading, attitude and heave, ***corresponding rates***, geographical position and velocity information."

We are talking about a navigation system for a submarine. What are these "corresponding rates"???

rates of change

(of the heading/attitude) - it's quite typical for a navigation system to provide both the angular coordinates themselves and the rates of their change (angular velocities, that is)
Peer comment(s):

agree Tony M : Yes, many servo systems work on either a 'position' or a 'rate' basis (or both, of course!)
