Abstract: A spin-stabilized projectile the trajectory of which can be improved to increase accuracy with the projectile being controlled by a source of electromagnetic radiation providing pulses carrying encoded information. The projectile includes a nose end and a midportion having a periphery disposed about which are a plurality of spaced masses with a high explosive charge associated with each mass for high explosive detonation acceleration of its corresponding mass to provide an impulse to the projectile. A projectile has a boattail defining a cavity opened at the rear end of the boattail. Received in the cavity is a pulsed electromagnetic radiation receiver and processor.
