Abstract: An device for correcting the in-flight trajectory of a munition consists of an impulse motor assembly body. The slug or multiple slugs and propellant(s) are located within the impulse motor assembly body. When a trajectory correction is desired and required, the individual impulse motor propellants are activated and fired, and the slug or multiple slugs are propelled out of the in-flight munition at a specific time and a specific angle on or near the gravimetric center of gravity of the in-flight munition. The reactive forces created by the explosion of the(se) heavy metal slugs does, by equal and opposite reaction, create a corrective vector and thereby does cause a correction in the trajectory of the in-flight munition.

Abstract: A system and method for determining the angular orientation of a body moving in object space. The invention is usable to detect and identify the angular orientation of the body relative to the theoretical plane of gravity and thereby relative to any other theoretical plane between zero and three-hundred sixty degrees therefrom. The invention is operable regardless of whether the body is rotating with an angular velocity, either natural and/or induced. The invention may employ one or more analog and/or digital sensors. The analog sensor may be an accelerometer. The system may be used to provide real-time orientation data to permit the body to be guided or directed towards a desired destination or simply to permit the orientation of the body to be known, controlled or varied as desired.

Abstract: The present invention relates to ground-based electromechanical search and communications apparatus used in conjunction with airborne communications apparatus. The ground-based apparatus maintains contact with and determines the precise location of the airborne apparatus within a defined space. Additionally, the airborne apparatus may receive data from a satellite system as to its inertial coordinates within object space. The apparatus of the invention includes a ground-based electronically and/or mechanically controlled antenna, an integral transmitter and computer and an airborne transceiver with an integral antenna and computer. The airborne transceiver transmits to, and on occasion receives, discrete commands from the ground-based apparatus. The ground-based apparatus via transmissions received from the airborne apparatus, will be able to determine the precise location in object space of the airborne apparatus and extrapolate its future location.
