Patent ID: 7360490

Claim:
A spin-stabilized artillery projectile with a projectile detonator ( 14 ) provided in an ogive ( 12 ) of the projectile, and a radially deployed brake device ( 16 ) provided in the ogive ( 12 ) for reduction of the longitudinal deviation (A 0 ; A r ) of the artillery projectile ( 10 ) in a target area ( 26 ), (a) wherein the artillery projectile ( 10 ) has a number of impulse elements ( 18 , 24 ) comprising pyrotechnic force elements distributed around the circumference thereof in order to reduce a lateral deviation (B 0 ; B r ) of the artillery projectile ( 10 ) in a target, and (b) wherein at least one said impulse element ( 18 ) correlated for the reduction of the lateral deviation (B 0 ; B r ) is controllably activatable through a device which is in operative association with said impulse elements ( 18 , 24 ), through which device there is determinable the presently timewise rotationally angular position of the artillery projective and thereby the mutually spaced impulse elements ( 18 , 24 ) in the circumferential direction.
