    Abstract: A projectile (12) to be fired from a rifled barrel (66) is described. At its tail (10) it has control surface vanes (14) which can be pivoted out from a sub-calibre launch position into an over-calibre functional position. To protect the inwardly folded vanes (14) and to protect further ballistic and sensor structures at the tail end of the projectile (12), a securing pot (18) is temporarily fixed to the tail (10) of the projectile (12), the securing pot having a pot peripheral portion (22) and a pot bottom (24). There is a pressure chamber (32) between the tail end face (26) of the projectile (12) and the pot bottom (24) of the securing pot (18). The pot bottom (24) has at least one propellent gas inlet (34) which opens into the pressure chamber (32). When the projectile (12) is fired from the barrel propellent gas flows through the propellent gas inlet (34) into the pressure chamber (32) so that a correspondingly high propellent gas pressure is produced in the pressure chamber (32). After leaving the barrel the pressure difference between the gas pressure in the pressure chamber (32) and the ambient atmosphere then takes effect, whereby the securing pot (18) is separated from the tail (10) of the projectile (12) and the vanes (14) are deployed from the inwardly folded storage position into the outwardly pivoted flight position.

    Abstract: A rudder of a missile, particularly an aircraft born ramjet missile, is attached to the missile by a plug and socket mounting. A bearing socket (B1) is attached to a base plate (B0) which is secured to the missile body (FK). The socket (B1) has a conical cavity (B3) tapering toward the base plate (B0). The plug (W1) is formed by a rudder shaft (W) also tapering toward the base plate and rotatably fitting into the conical cavity (B3). Bearings (L1, L2) in the cavity (B3) hold the plug end (W1) of the rudder shaft axially and permit rotation of the rudder shaft (W) relative to the bearing socket (B1). The socket thus holds the bearings and has an at least partly outer cylindrical contour with a diameter (B2) that fits into a standard 41 mm wide slot (S) in an aircraft that carries the missile, whereby the rudder (R) is recessed in the slot (S) when the missile is mounted to an aircraft.

    Abstract: A method and apparatus for thrust vectoring a flight vehicle during homing are disclosed. The flight vehicle includes a body; a plurality of attitude control mechanisms on the body; a multi-pulse motor housed at least partially in the body; and a control unit housed in the body. The control unit generates signals controlling an actuation of the attitude control mechanisms and the multi-pulse motor to initiate a follow-on burn of the multi-pulse motor to effect a maneuver directed by the actuation of the attitude control mechanisms. The method includes conserving a second burn of a dual pulse motor until target acquisition; acquiring a target; actuating a attitude control mechanism for the flight vehicle to alter the flight vehicle's heading; and initiating the second burn.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a fin-stabilized missile (1) of the type which is intended to be fired at high acceleration towards a defined target along its trajectory and which can be guided in the trajectory and which, for stabilizing it in the trajectory, is provided with stabilizing fins (3, 32) arranged at its rear end, and control elements (6, 7) which are arranged at its front end and are intended to guide the latter, and whose rear part, in which the fins are secured, consists of a body part (4, 31) which can rotate freely relative to the main part (1, 29) of the missile about a bearing (14, 36) arranged concentric to the longitudinal axis (L) of the missile (1). According to the invention, said bearing (14, 36) is arranged near the dividing plane between the missile (1) and the body part (4, 31) and has a short length in the longitudinal direction of the missile, this having been made possible by the fact that it has been given a large diameter compared with its length and it has been designed with special load-bearing contact surfaces (20, 21, 27, 28) which limit the stresses during ramming and firing and during the flight of the missile (1) through the air. The freely rotatable body part (4, 31) for the fins (32) can then in turn be axially displaced from a launch position located inside the missile to a flight position where the fins (32) are pushed out behind the rear plane of the missile, where they can rotate freely.

    Abstract: The present invention provides a fast, low-cost, small diverter capable of generating a relatively high impulse (1-5 N-sec) over a short time period. The diverter is adapted for installation in a projectile for steering the projectile in flight by ejecting an end cap in response to control signals from a guidance system. In one embodiment, multiple diverters are arranged in one or more bands about a flying projectile such as a rocket. Each diverter includes a header assembly providing a mounting surface and support for a plurality of electrical leads, a reactive semiconductor bridge mounted on the mounting surface of the header assembly and providing an electrical path for the electrical leads at a certain voltage across the bridge, a diverter body supporting the header assembly and containing a prime, wherein the reactive semiconductor bridge and the prime define a gap, and an end cap attached to the diverter body and containing a propellant.

    Abstract: A device for detecting attacking guided missiles with optical seeker head and for generating a laser beam directed to such guided missile has an all-around seeker with a detector responding to thermal radiation from the guided missile, and a laser which points to the guided missile detected by the all-around seeker. A roll and pitch gimbal system is provided. A roll gimbal is rotatable relative to the structure about a roll axis. A pitch gimbal is rotatable relative to the roll gimbal about a pitch axis orthogonal to the roll axis. The detector is structure-fixed. An imaging optical system is mounted on the roll and pitch gimbal system. The optical system with its optical axis can point to an object scenario. With each position of the gimbal system, an image of this object scenario is generated on the detector. The laser is also structure-fixed. A laser reflecting surface system is provided on the gimbal system, by means of which the laser beam is kept parallel to the optical axis of the imaging optical system, with each position of the gimbal system. Both the path of rays of the imaging optical system and the laser beam comprise a respective section extending along the pitch axis and a section extending along the roll axis.
