Abstract
A method of controlling a projectile includes initiating an execution mode if a roll control authority parameter is outside of a pre-determined operating range for a projectile. The execution mode includes bypassing a guidance command and sending a modified command to execute a coning maneuver to improve control response of the projectile. A projectile control system includes a processor operatively connected to a memory. The memory has instructions recorded thereon that, when read by the processor, cause the processor to execute the method operations described above.
