A6 CHAMBER BASED SYSTEM FOR DIRECTION CONTROL OF ROCKETS AND MISSILES USING CHANGE IN COG

摘要

The proposed system introduces a new method of controlling the direction of a missile/rocket system by adjusting the centre of gravity of the system. The center of gravity (CG) is an imaginary computational point where all weight of the missile/rocket is located. The center of gravity is responsible for the stability of the missile/rocket and any changes in the center of gravity will disturb the directional stability of the system. This property can be used to alter the direction of the missile/rocket so the by adjusting the stability of the system, the direction of the missile/rocket can be altered. The proposed system introduces a six chamber cylinder mechanism which attached with the full tanks of the missile/rocket by repositioning the center of gravity of the system by adjusting fluid levels on each chamber using a FPGA controller.
