AUTONOMOUS JET PROJECTILE CONTROL UNIT Russian patent published in 2017 - IPC F42B15/00 

FIELD: weapon and ammunition.

SUBSTANCE: autonomous jet projectile control unit includes a cylindrical hinge on two rolling bearings with an axis of rotation that coincides with the longitudinal axis of the jet projectile, a power source, a mission input data distant reception on-board equipment set, an exploder and control equipment. The control equipment contains an onboard computer, a block of inertial sensors and satellite navigation equipment. In addition, the device contains an electric steering gear. It includes four DC motors and four aerodynamic steering wheels hidden inside the body in the starting position. Each DC electric motor has the ability to deflect independently of its aerodynamic steering wheel at an angle ±20°. The steering gear provides the ability to simultaneously create control forces and moments in course, pitch and roll. The onboard computer has the ability to form commands to stabilise the roll and to damp the longitudinal and lateral oscillations of the projectile. The device can be mounted on unguided missiles immediately before use.

EFFECT: expansion of combat capabilities of rocket artillery when small-sized targets firing.
