ABSTRACT:
A method for varying the flight path of a missile, in particular of a spin-stabilized projectile, which has an outer wall and which is provided with at least one impulse device. The impulse device can be activated deliberately at a defined time during the flight of the missile. The impulse device is arranged with respect to the longitudinal axis of the missile such that, when it is activated, it generates an impulse that initiates a tumbling movement which causes the flight-path of the missile to be shortened or varied. A spin-stabilized projectile is provided with such an impulse device and it is configured so that the impulse device may be triggered during flight so as to initiate the flight-altering tumbling movement.
