Abstract: Apparatuses for a projectile are provided, the projectile configured for weapons band launching, examples of the apparatus comprising a body, an inflation system and external walls. The body is inflatable by the inflation system, from a deflated configuration having a first volume to an inflated configuration having a second volume, greater than the first volume. The external walls are deployable from an undeployed configuration to a deployed configuration responsive to the body being inflated. In the undeployed configuration and at an operating airspeed, the center of pressure is located at a first position with respect to the projectile. In the deployed configuration the external walls provide a deployed external surface geometry exposed to an airflow corresponding to the operating airspeed, such that the center of pressure is located at a second position with respect to the projectile, different from the first position.
