  • Methods and apparatus for guiding a projectile
    Patent number: 7872215
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus for guiding a projectile according to various aspects of the present comprise a force source disposed on the projectile and a control system operably connected to the force source. The control system is configured to initially activate the force source when the force source is substantially in a selected rotational position, and subsequently activate the force source when the force source rotates to substantially the selected rotational position a second time.
