Abstract

The invention is concerned with a projectile with a stabilizing device that is depolyable beyond the caliber and that should at least comprise an object rotatable about its axis. The stabilizing device can be telescopically arranged and can have a cover that is shaped to conform to the surface of the projectile when the device is not deployed.
