Abstract: A cartridge incorporating a projectile assembly, the projectile assembly having a base, mid body component housing a marking powder and metallic nose cap. The projectile's mid-body component houses liquids in a cylindrical compartment, where set-back and rotation induce chemical mixing, and in flight allowing for a chemical reaction, and at impact the projectile undergoes wall failure in the mid body, resulting from shear and residual rotational momentum, the actions in combination releasing and expelling marking materials, the ejection suspended signature producing materials, including liquid, powdered metals or fine particles released into the atmosphere emit and reflect light, the signature materials producing an observable signature at the projectile's impact location.

Abstract: A cartridge incorporating a projectile assembly, the projectile assembly having a base, mid body component housing a marking powder and lighter metallic nose cap. The projectile's mid-body component undergoes wall failure at impact, the wall failure is induced as forward momentum of the base and other residual forces act to expel the marking powder from the projectile, the manner of ejection suspending a low density material with contrast dye, in the vicinity of the impact, providing a gunner with visual cue in regard to a projectile's impact location.

Abstract: A slow rolling projectile comprises a projectile body has a forward section and a rear section and having a longitudinal axis. Two or more canards in the forward section are capable of being extended from and retracted into the projectile body at predetermined frequencies and/or for predetermined times. Two or more tail fins in the rear section are fixed coextensive to or at an angle to the longitudinal axis, and an actuator extends and retracts the canards. The canards are capable of being extended and retracted at a rate based on the rotation of the projectile sufficient to correct for lateral movement. A GPS or INS navigational system activates an actuator to extend and retract the canards.
