deflection angle [di′flek·shən ‚aŋ·gəl]

(geodesy)

The angle at a point on the earth between the direction of a plumb line (the vertical) and the perpendicular (the normal) to the reference spheroid; this difference seldom exceeds 30 seconds of arc.

(ordnance)

An angle that measures the departure of a moving object from its directed course.

The angle of a deflection shot in gunnery, measured between the line of sight to the target and the line of sight to the aiming point.

deflection angle

In surveying, a horizontal angle measured from prolongation of the preceding transit line to the next line; recorded as “right” if clockwise rotation and “left” if counterclockwise.
