Patents by Inventor Jurgen Leininger

Jurgen Leininger has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 7267298
    Abstract: At very low apparatus expenditure, namely with a canard system which is adjustable in a single-axis mode, it is possible to achieve a spatially two-dimensional trajectory correction in respect of the artillery ammunition which in itself is unguided, with the additional degree of freedom in respect of trajectory extension and thus an extraordinary increase in the precision of delivery in relation to the predetermined target point.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 11, 2002
    Date of Patent: September 11, 2007
    Assignee: Diehl Munitionssysteme GmbH & Co. KG

  • Patent number: 6467721
    Abstract: In order to perceptibly reduce the inevitable trajectory scatter or spread of ballistically fired projectiles in the target area without the technological expenditure involved in automatic target-seeking control, and in order thereby substantially to improve the level of target hit accuracy, the minimum trajectory path is laid through the previously ascertained target position, having regard to the error budget of the weapon and the external influencing parameters to be expected so that all real trajectories up to the maximum trajectory of that overall error budget are behind the target position. The descent of the projectile into the target area is then shortened from the real trajectory to the minimum trajectory, that is to say towards the target position.

  • Patent number: 4883239
    Abstract: A guided artillery projectile with a flight attitude or trajectory regulator in the autopilot of the projectile for the guidance of a transition into a gliding trajectory at the assumption of a predetermined pitch angle after the passage through the apogee of the ballistic firing trajectory.
