ABSTRACT:
For an exact vectoring of active or combat projectiles, a GPS-supported pilot projectile is provided with a satellite navigation system or GPS receiver and continuously detects its own position and speed during the complete operational (firing) sequence--and thus also the ballistic interference variables--and transmits this information via a transmitter to the ordnance unit for evaluation and correction of the firing parameter of a subsequently fired active or combat projectile. If the active or combat ammunition or projectile to be vectored is equipped with submunitions, then the GPS receiver and the transmitter are located in the pilot submunition, so that the ballistic interference variables affecting the submunition can be recorded as well.
