Aeroballistics of a Terminally Corrected Spinning Projectile (TCSP)
1975
This paper discusses the aerodynamic aspects and ballistic advantages of a method for providing terminal guidance to the Mk 41 projectile. Guidance and control functions are contained in a single unit, which is adaptable to the Mk 41 fuze-well. This unit contains all the required power system, sensors, and aerodynamic controls. These controls consist of a set of four canards in a cruciform arrangement. An overview is presented of the system concept. Indications are given of the increased effectiveness of the guided projectile over the conventional unguided round.
