ABSTRACT:
A system and method which allows for the change of pitch angle of a store as required during the mission of an aircraft to minimize the frontal area of the store. By minimizing the drag of the store during the flight, the range of the weapon delivery system can be extended and aircraft handling qualities can be enhanced. The system includes sensing, processing, and positioning means that cooperate to adjust the store position relative to the aircraft.
