    摘要: A projectile, air vehicle or submersible craft with a spinning or rolling fuselage, rotating on its axis, has a collar which can be positioned relative to a longitudinal axis of the projectile using aerodynamic forces. Aerodynamic surfaces, such as lift-producing surfaces, for example tails or canards, are coupled to the collar, and rotate with the collar. An actuator system or mechanism controls orienting of the lift-producing surfaces, such as tilting of the lift producing surfaces, to direct the collar into a desired position relative to a longitudinal axis of the projectile, and to maintain the collar in that position. With such a control the projectile is able to be steered using bank-to-turn maneuvering. The actuator system may use any of a variety of mechanisms to move the lift-producing surfaces, thereby positioning the collar.

    摘要: A projectile, such as a missile, rolls during at least a portion of its flight, while retaining its roll reference to enable navigation during the rolling period of flight. The roll reference may be retained by using a sensor, such as magnetometer, to periodically check and correct the roll reference. Alternatively or in addition the missile may alternate roll directions, for example varying roll rate in a substantially sinusoidal function. By rolling the missile inaccuracies in an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the missile may be ameliorated by being to a large extent canceled out by the changes in orientation of the missile as the missile rolls. This enables use of IMUs with lower accuracy than would otherwise be required to obtain accurate flight. Thus accurate flight may be accomplished with less costly IMUs, without sacrificing the ability to navigate.

    摘要: A spinning, rolling, or roll-stabilized vehicle, such as a projectile, includes a fuselage that rotates about its longitudinal axis (spins) during flight. A collar is positionable relative to the fuselage to steer the projectile, with the collar having ailerons to provide a roll force to position the collar. The collar also has elevators to provide lateral force to steer the projectile. The positioning of the collar may be accomplished by moderating the roll force of the ailerons to hold the position of the collar substantially constant with regard to a longitudinal axis of the projectile. The ailerons passively change angle of attack with changes in the dynamic pressure of the projectile. At low speeds the ailerons have a relatively large angle of attack, and at high speeds, the ailerons resiliently reduce their angles of attack, avoiding large rolling forces on the collar.

    摘要: A dipole based decoy system provides an inexpensive alternative to chaff. A non-conductive filament patterned with lengths of conductive material that form dipole antennas at one or more radar frequencies is stored on the air vehicle and attached to a projectile. In response to a RWR warning, a programmed time or location or a time-to-target, a mechanism releases the projectile(s) to deploy the filament with its dipole antennas at a speed greater than or equal to the speed of the air vehicle to present an extended target or a separate false target to enemy radar. The projectile is either towed behind the air vehicle or launched away from the air vehicle. Either approach is effective to overcome Doppler and moving range gating by presenting coherent signal returns and ranges and velocities consistent with the air vehicle during a threat interval posed by the radar defense systems.
