    摘要: The present disclosure provides a projectile with a self-contained internal chamber. Reaction of propellant inside the internal chamber can generate high pressure and the resultant exhaust gases can be used for projectile linear acceleration, rotational acceleration or other purposes. Torque can be produced by exhausting the pressure via radially placed, tangential nozzles or other outlets and can be configured to induce sufficient projectile spin to stabilize the projectile without the need for barrel rifling. The internal chamber may be separate or integral to the projectile itself. The projectile may include two or more chambers or compartments internal to the chambers. The disclosed projectile allows for higher pressures in the internal chamber than in the barrel and greater flexibility on pressure manipulation in the barrel and the projectile, allowing for a more efficient propellant combustion and manipulation of projectile characteristics such as muzzle and rotational speeds.

    摘要: The presently disclosed subject matter includes a method, apparatus and computer storage device for reducing dispersion of a rocket caused by jet-stream misalignment, the rocket comprising a rocket engine. Information indicative of a division of total operation time of the rocket engine into a first time period and a second time period is obtained; wherein an impulse which is generated during the first time period is at least approximately the same as an impulse generated during the second time period; a period of time which equals to the first time period starting from time of activation of the rocket engine is measured; upon termination of the period of time, the rocket is rotated around the rocket's longitudinal axis; and the angle of rotation measured; and the rotation is stopped once a 180° rotation is completed.

    摘要: A projectile having a fin deployment system disposed about its circumference. The fins are initially contained by a fin cover that is removed by aerodynamic force. The fins are then rotated around a rotational axis parallel to and offset from the central axial axis of the projectile body by the centrifugal forces created by the rotation of the projectile as the projectile passes through a barrel of a gun system or tube launcher. The fin deployment system can also have locking systems that lock the fins in the deployed position and prevent the fins from rotating back into the retracted position after deployment.

    摘要: An aerodynamically stable, kinematic flare having an enhanced plume signature is disclosed. The flare includes a housing with a flare illuminant disposed within the housing. A primary nozzle is configured in the aft wall of the housing. Four secondary nozzles are configured in the aft end of the side wall of the housing and are positioned aft of the center of gravity of the flare. At least two of the secondary nozzles comprise off-center nozzles having a longitudinal axis which does not extend through the longitudinal axis of the flare. A shroud is attached to the housing and deploys to an extended position upon combustion of the illuminant. The shroud is configured with holes which correspond in size and position to each of the secondary nozzles when the shroud is in its extended position. The primary and secondary nozzles are sized and positioned to spin stabilize the flare during combustion of the illuminant.

    摘要: A lightweight, relatively inexpensive rocket nozzle assembly which is heat resistant, ablative and electrically insulating. The body of the nozzle is molded in fibre reinforced thermosetting resin integrally with a forward metallic retaining ring, a rear metallic fin supporting ring and an electrical contact ring. A graphite throat insert is also provided and helical vanes are integrally molded into the rear portion of the nozzle to effect rotary motion of the exhaust gases. Wrap around fins are secured externally of the nozzle and provided with a retainer ring-shear pin assembly to hold the fins in the closed position for transport, and spring means to deploy the fins after firing and shearing of the shear pins.

    摘要: A control system which adjusts the angle of fins on an aerodynamic body proportional to fluid displaced by sensing masses subjected to centrifugal forces generated by the spin of the body. The displaced fluid controls the rotation of one or more fins and is interconnected between sensing masses to provide for synchronized and uniform movement within the system.

    摘要: A spin control system for a reentry vehicle has a plurality of fins located around the periphery of the vehicle. The fins are rotated by a mass which moves under the action of centrifugal force to move a pair of pins in cam slots located on the fin support shafts to thereby rotate the fins to decrease the cant angle from a preset value at zero roll.
