Accelerometers and gyroscopes are used to measure the actual flight path through electronic circuitry. The whole makes a closed loop system. (Not all missiles use autopilots.) Autopilot -Lateral autopilot An autopilot for controlling the lateral acceleration or g of a missile. A cartesian missile, if it uses an autopilot at all, would usually use two: one for controlling the g in the pitch plane and another for controlling the g in the yaw plane.
