Abstract

Gun launched projectiles designed to maintain body spin can often exhibit a gyroscopic phenomenon called coning. Coning can increase a projectile's susceptibility to loss of control conditions and is generally undesirable. Using a simplified model, a method is proposed to reduce coning motion and any bias the projectile body exhibits with respect to heading direction. Simulation results show the proposed method is able to reduce coning and bias to within an acceptable region of the heading direction.
