Fin-stabilized projectile with improved aerodynamic performance |
September 3, 2002 |
| A projectile includes an elongated forebody and an aft section secured to the forebody. The aft section includes a pair of fins affixed to an aerodynamic, cylindrical section. The lift generated by the low-drag pair of fins is sufficient to counteract most foreseeable angles of attack to |

Method for reducing dispersion in gun launched projectiles |
December 27, 1994 |
| Disclosed is a method for reducing dispersion in gun launched projectiles. n axial thrust is applied to the projectile at a specific time in the yaw cycle to cancel the effect of aerodynamic jump which arises from the effect of yawing motion disturbance created by an initial disturbance. |
