20100327106 | System and Method for Attitude Control of a Flight Vehicle using Pitch-Over Thrusters - A reliable and inexpensive attitude control system uses a plurality of pitch-over thrusters to perform rapid and precise attitude maneuvers for a flight vehicle. The pitch-over thrusters create rotational moments that directly pitch and yaw the flight vehicle. The use of very simple thrusters and control techniques provides for a reliable and cost effective solution. The ability to perform overlapping pitch and yaw maneuvers with single-shot fixed-impulse thrusters provides for high-speed maneuverability. | 12-30-2010 |
20110049289 | METHOD OF CONTROLLING MISSILE FLIGHT USING ATTITUDE CONTROL THRUSTERS - A method of controlling flight of a missile includes using gyroscopes, such as pitch rate gyroscopes, to sense when a factor based on the angular rate of change of the missile exceeds a threshold value. One the threshold value is exceeded, a decision may be made to use one or more compensation thrusters to reduce the angular rate of change. The use of the compensation thrusters may correct residual angular velocities from a pitch over maneuver used to put the missile on an intended course. In addition, the compensation thrusters may be used to compensate for errors in missile heading induced after the pitch over maneuver, such as induced by misalignment of thrust provided by a main rocket motor of the missile. Multiple compensation thrusters may be used to compensate for angular changes in the pitch and yaw directions. | 03-03-2011 |
20120091253 | METHOD OF INTERCEPTING INCOMING PROJECTILE - A method of defeating an incoming missile, such as a rocket propelled grenade, includes soft launching an interceptor missile, and then using pitch over motors of the interceptor missile to alter course of the missile to a desired interception direction. By launching at a relatively slow speed, such as a speed less than or equal to 40 m/sec (130 ft/sec), the interceptor missile may reach the desired interception direction within 250 milliseconds of launch. The interceptor missile may be able to cover substantially all interception directions over a hemisphere or greater extent around a launch location. For example, the interceptor missile may be launched vertically from a ground vehicle, and be capable of altering course to any above-ground trajectory within 250 milliseconds. | 04-19-2012 |
20120211562 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR INTERCEPTING A PROJECTILE - Methods and apparatus for firing a projectile in response to a threat according to various aspects of the present invention operate in conjunction with a computer coupled to a launch system for the projectile. The computer may be configured to select the projectile from multiple available projectiles and calculate a fire control solution according to a characteristic of the selected projectile. Calculating the fire control solution may comprise deriving the fire control solution from a look-up table according to a predicted intercept point. The computer may initiate a launch of the selected projectile and provide the fire control solution to the selected projectile. | 08-23-2012 |
