Abstract

In a projectile including a spinning main housing and a despun canard frame having deflectable canards thereon, a pair of stator windings are disposed within the main housing and a cooperating pair of rotors are arranged within the canard frame. The first stator windings and corresponding rotor generate prime power and permit control of the rotational position of the canard frame while the second stator windings and associated rotor allow control of the deflectable canards.
