Abstract (en)
[origin: EP0322540A2] The invention relates to a projectile (1, 101, 201) with adjustable control members (3, 9; 103, 131; 247) for influencing the trajectory of the projectile. The projectile has control electronics (13) for determining control signals for the adjustment of the control members, and an electrical generator (10, 110, 210) for the power supply of the control electronics. To simplify the construction of the projectile in terms of the adjustment of the control members and the power supply of the control electronics, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the electrical generator (10, 110, 210) be used additionally as an adjusting device for the control members. For this, there is a mechanical connection (3, 103, 246) between the moved part, generally the rotor (21, 121) of the electrical generator, and the control members (9, 131, 247) for the adjustment of these. Furthermore, the electrical generator (10, 110, 210) is connected to an electrical load (23, 24, 25) of which the size can be varied by the control electronics (13). The invention affords a small and effective construction for adjusting the control members, which can also be employed on small-calibre projectiles, for example grenades. <IMAGE>
