  • Patent number: 9360286
    Abstract: The invention relates to a rotationally stabilized projectile (1) for launching from a barrel, which projectile (1) comprises a front projectile part (22), a rear projectile part (20) comprising a rotating band (4), and an intermediate projectile part (21) comprising a freely rotatable middle section (2) arranged with guide wings (3) for improving the gliding capability and guidance capability during the gliding phase and end phase of the projectile. The guide wings (3) are arranged extensibly on the freely rotatable middle section (2), and the intermediate projectile part (21) also comprises a regulator device (14) for regulating the rotation of the middle section (2). The invention also relates to a method for guiding a rotationally stabilized projectile.

  • Patent number: 9354028
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for determining the roll angle of a guidable and substantially or partially roll-stable projectile comprising control system, radio-based positioning receiver and sensor for measuring roll angular velocity, in which the following steps are included: actuation of the actuators of the projectile by the control system, included in the projectile, for maneuvering of the projectile; estimation of a first signal, the projectile control force, on the basis of the control system included in the projectile; measurement of a second signal, the velocity of the projectile relative to the ground-fixed coordinate system, with the radio-based positioning receiver mounted in the projectile; measurement of a third signal, the rotational velocity, with the sensor for roll angular velocity mounted in the projectile; calculation of a roll angle on the basis of the first, second and third signals, estimated projectile control force, measured projectile velocity, and measured rotational velocity,
