CRUISE CONTROL FOR NON-BALLISTIC MISSILES BY A SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT OF SPOILERS

摘要

A missile control system for a guided missile wherein spoilers are used for making small corrections in the trajectory of the guided missile during the launch and cruise phase and conventional control surfaces are employed to make large trajectory corrections in the final homing phase of its trajectory. The spoilers are mounted in the extremities of a missile's wing members and tail fins; those mounted in the wing members accomplishing pitch and yaw corrections and those in the tail fins roll corrections. The spoilers are extended and retracted by solenoid devices.
