A procedure to calculate from the navigation gyroscope values the desired values for the drive control of an antenna rotating platform (azimuth and elevation) on board an aircraft is described. The study is part of the scatterometer project in which the possibility of establishing from backscatter measurements, information on the motion of the sea and hence the wind direction and the wind force was investigated. To this end, a stabilizing antenna pointed slanted towards the sea is mounted on board an aircraft flying along a predetermined path. The position of the antenna should not be influenced by the movements of the aircraft. The method gives simplified equations for elevation over azimuth and for azimuth over elevation values.
