Abstract: A payload carrying device which is inserted into a remote area of interest by means of a projectile carrier to obtain data, or the like, from the remote area. The device has counter rotating main blades as well as tail blades carried on a tail rotor. The particular payload is carried in a canister which may also include a power source, a command and control unit and a motor, if hover or lateral flight is desired. The pitch of the tail blades is variable as well as their orientation around an axis, the combination of which generates a thrust vector in a particular direction for controlled lateral flight.

Abstract: A range correction module which is designed to fit onto a spin stabilized llistic projectile for correcting range error. The range correction module is a self-contained module within the fuze which screws into the forward portion of the projectile. The range correction module is designed such that changes are not required to the existing projectile. During the course correction phase, sixteen semi-circular plates will deploy from the module. The plates create a blunt cross-sectional area in front of the projectile, thus creating more drag and effectively slowing the projectile.

Abstract: A trajectory (range) control device which is designed to fit behind the f of a fin stabilized ballistic projectile for correcting range error. The trajectory (range) control device is a self-contained, add-on module, which will screw into the forward portion of the projectile. The fuze will then screw into the trajectory (range) control module, which has a small through hole that will coincide with the center of the fuze and the center of the projectile. This through hole is intended to provide a channel in which the fuze can detonate the intended booster charge which will in turn ignite the high explosive payload or function the payload of the fin stabilized ballistic projectile. The trajectory control device will not make changes to the existing projectile or fuze. During the course correction phase, eight spring loaded flare tabs will deploy from the device. The flare tabs create a blunt cross-sectional area in front of the projectile, thus creating more drag and effectively slowing the projectile.

Abstract: A fin stabilized kinetic energy tank training device comprising a project having a nose and having nose and end sections, and constructed of a low density material such as aluminum, and having a hollowed-out section to further reduce weight thereof, so as to minimizing penetration of an armor system on impact thereon.

Abstract: An armor piercing projectile having a ramjet engine located at the forward nd such that the exhaust nozzles of the ramjet engine are located at or near the center of gravity of the projectile. A warhead is contained in the center portion of the projectile and is either a shaped charge device or a high explosive warhead. A tail boom with stabilizing fins is located at the rear of the projectile. In an alternate embodiment, the ramjet engine is attached by an extension sleeve to the warhead allowing it to telescope after launch and provide increased standoff for better penetration by the shaped charge. Another embodiment allows the ramjet motor to detach prior to impact at the target to better allow the warhead to penetrate. A further embodiment incorporates an armor piercing subprojectile located within the centerbody of the ramjet motor.
