Abstract: In an adjusting apparatus for control surfaces of a missile the control surfaces 2, 3 are displaceable by adjusting motors 5, 6 by way of thrust spindles 15. To afford a compact structure and a low weight the stators 7 of the adjusting motors 5, 6 are arranged directly in a carrier housing 4 and the thrust spindle 15 engages into a female thread 14 of the motor shaft 9.

Abstract: A guided missile (12), in particular a projectile which can be fired through a propellent charge gas pressure, having rudder blades (18) which cross each other and which can be pivoted open to steer the missile (12). Each rudder blade (18) is mounted in a guide slot (22) which is closed at the front end by an end portion (26). Each end portion (26) has a spoiler end face (28). Each end portion (26) projects radially beyond the lateral longitudinal ribs (24). At its distal end portion (32) the associated rudder blade (18) is provided with laterally mutually opposite, narrow guide ribs (36) which project out of the rudder blade profile (34).

Abstract: To maintain control accuracy for the pivotable rudder blades (14), which lie in a combustion chamber, of a guided projectile (12) which can be fired by means of propellent charge, there is provide a mounting arrangement in which the trunnions (20) of the rudder blade holders (16) of the diametrally mutually opposite rudder blades (14) are torsionally stiffly rigidly connected through an associated coupling element (32) which is limitedly resilient in the radial direction of the guided projectile (12).

Abstract: A guided missile which can be fired as a mortar projectile with armour-piercing hollow-charge warhead behind a seeking head for autonomous or semi-autonomous final phase guidance is to be capable of use for universal use from the same mortar weapon selectively against hard-armoured targets and against concreted protective constructions. For that purpose provided in front of the blast-forming main hollow charge is a boring hollow charge which is also blast-forming but slower and of higher mass and which, in the event of impact against a target, clears in a region-wise manner the reactive additional armouring of an armoured vehicle or penetrates the concrete wall of a protection arrangement. Upon impact against the target, a sub-calibre post-firing fragmentation explosive charge is released due to inertia from its holder in order to detonate after passing through the hole in the concrete wall therebehind or in the event of impact against a hard target to produce secondary effects against sensor elements.

Abstract: A setting device for the control surface of a projectile, which includes a drivable spindle or actuated screw which is screwed through the intermediary of a nut which is secured against rotation. Included are end stops for limiting the axial extent of displacement of the nut when stop surfaces which rotate in conjunction with the spindle contact in the direction of rotational movement, a stop against a stop surface axially-parallel protruding from a single-threaded helicoid surface on one or the other end face of the nut.

Abstract: A setting device for a control surface on an airborne body, including a follower nut supported on a spindle which is drivable by a drive motor for effectuating the displacement of a shaft of the control surface through a lever. The drive motor and the spindle are mounted so s to be pivotable about a pendulum axis which extends normal to the longitudinal axis of the spindle. The lever is pivotally connected to a follower axis of the follower nut.

Abstract: An arrangement for the unlatching and extension of the stabilizing fins or control surfaces of a projectile, including a power element which is effective in the longitudinal direction of the projectile for pressing a follower against camming or runoff edges located proximate hinged connections at the fin footings, after a latching for the stabilizing fin in the region of their end surfaces has been released. The power element causes a latching crown or ring to be raised away from the end surfaces of the stabilizing fins opposite the force of a spring through the longitudinal movement of a connecting or pusher rod prior to the pusher rod engaging behind the follower and then pressing against the runoff or camming edges.
