Abstract: A guided projectile including a precision guidance munition assembly utilizes at least one maneuver envelope to optimally control movement of at least one canard to steer the guided projectile during flight. The maneuver envelopes optimize movements of the at least one canard that effectuate movement in either the range direction or the cross-range direction, or both. The maneuver envelope enables optimal timing such that maneuvering in one direction does not come at the expense of maneuver authority in the other direction.

Abstract: A plurality of multi-tone CW radars are used to generate a swath of ranges to a moving object or individual behind a wall or building structure in which the overlap of the range swaths from spaced-apart radars determines the location of the moving object or individual. A histogram of the swath overlaps is used to generate a display of the path of the moving object or individual.

Abstract: An apparatus for 3-axis aerodynamic control of multi-caliber bodies comprising three shafts each having at least one canard; bevel gears attached to said shafts; and a set of three miniature stepper motors, each driving a zero backlash spur assembly attached to the drive bevel gears.

Abstract: A method and system for guiding and controlling an ordinance body having a trajectory and a bore sight angle including making corrections to the trajectory based on bore sight angle vs. time history. The system is incorporated with existing fuse components in a replacement kit for existing munitions. The method determines nominal time values of the ballistic trajectory of the munition in relation to launch time and determines deviation from the nominal time values by an algorithm by analyzing signals received from a source of radiation located at the target. A processor determines lateral (left/right) and range errors and provides steering commands to a plurality of flight control surfaces mounted on the munition.

Abstract: The homing tag (1) has a transmissive housing (3), which is attached to a cartridge case (5). The transmissive housing (3) includes an aft body (7) to provide an interface with the cartridge case (5). Rotating bands (9) are located at a leading edge of the aft body (7). The transmissive housing (3) further includes a central body (11). The ogive-shaped nose (13) is formed of transparent material. A pluralit of slots (15) are provided for cooling the transmissive housing (3).

The processor subsystem (46) includes a 3-axis MEMs rate sensor (63), a roll algorithm device (65), a seeker detection algorithm device (51), and a guidance algorithm device (67). The flight control subsystem (25) include three canard axis drives (32).

Abstract: A CW radar (10) is used to detect motion of objects (22) behind a wall (20) by projecting a radar beam through the wall and by measuring the returns from the objects behind the wall, with a change in the phase difference between the transmitted and received CW signals providing an indication of motion behind the wall and thus the presence of an individual.

Abstract: A multi-tone CW radar (14) is used to project signals from an antenna (22) and to receive returns with the same antenna. The phase differences between the outgoing signals and the returns are analyzed to determine the existence of motion and the range to a moving object (10). A model is made which has range as its major parameter. A waveform associated with the phase difference between outgoing signals and returns for one of the tones is compared to templates produced by the model to determine which has a range that most closely matches. By varying the range parameters, when a match is detected the range to the object can be obtained even if its motion is pseudorandom. If the range is measured with multiple units it is possible to measure the location of the object. This can be done assuming a grid and algorithmically combining the ranges from the units.
