ABSTRACT:
A system for increasing a warhead's chance of hitting a target comprises a system for causing the warhead to deviate from its projected trajectory so that it will have an increased chance of avoiding intercepting force such as a kill vehicle a missile, an airplane, an explosive gun, a laser gun, an electron gun, radiation gun, a particles gun, a fire gun, a jet air gun, and/or a remote control guided explosive. The warhead has one or more thrusters, which cause it to deviate from its projected trajectory. An on-board computer controls the thrusters' ignition and burning time in a closed loop with an on-board Global Positioning System (GPS) unit. The GPS data is used for predicting the warhead's trajectory and to assure that the thrusters provide motion displacements of the warhead. In the event the GPS unit fails, the warhead computer and controller can be overridden by an off-board remote control. If both GPS and remote control units fail, the warhead can drop to a random mode of controlling the thruster's ignition and burning time and/or select one thruster that will tumble the warhead in space.
