Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0316216A1] The object of the invention is to provide a device making it possible to curve the end of trajectory of a missile into the desired plane without the need for costly and complex servo-mechanisms. <??>According to the invention, a cardan mounting is formed by a portion (2) of the projectile and an inner frame (7), a gyroscope being mounted in the inner frame (7). The portion (2) carries the operating member (20). <??>The device thus makes it possible to keep the operating member (20) in a stable rolling position over the entire length of the trajectory. It is therefore possible to curve the latter in a specific direction, in order, for example, to attack targets from above with high accuracy. The device is suitable for infantry rockets, aeronautical missiles and, in general terms, flat-trajectory projectiles. <IMAGE>
