Abstract

Simple roll control device for a rear fin stabilized projectile. The base of each fin is attached by two articulations of which one is connected to a fixed drum while the other is connected to a ring which is free to turn through several degrees in either direction under the control of an actuator thus creating a projectile roll moment.
