English term or phrase: corresponding rates
" 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"???
