Movement Characteristics of a Dual-Spin Guided Projectile Subjected to a Lateral Impulse

Abstract

In this paper, a new dual-spin guided projectile that is equipped with ten lateral impulse jets is proposed for trajectory correction. To guide the overall design of the projectile and the control system, a linear motion model of the projectile that was subjected to a lateral impulse was obtained based on a full nonlinear seven-degree-of-freedom (7-DOF) dynamic model. The trajectory correction process of a lateral impulse was divided into two stages. To explain the principle of lateral impulse trajectory correction, the analytical solutions of the linear model of these two stages were obtained. Analytical and numerical solutions were compared to verify the accuracy of the linear model. It is concluded that the analytical and numerical solutions are in good agreement.
