  • Control actuation system, devices and methods for missiles, munitions and projectiles
    Patent number: 12669316
    Abstract: Systems and methods are presented for control of munitions, missiles and projectiles in flight and more particularly with the use of activatable or deployable flow effectors that remain stowed or inactive during launch or firing, and can be actuated after launch or firing on demand. More specifically, systems and methods are presented for control of munitions, missiles, and projectiles by activating and/or deactivating a control actuation system (CAS) based on measurements of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) and sensors integrated into such IMU, the IMU and sensors being at least part of a configurable guidance sensor suite (CGSS).
