ABSTRACT:
A process for piloting and guiding a projectile in the terminal phase in which the correction is obtained by means of a barrel of (n) impellers with lateral nozzles. Combustion of the first is triggered off when the rotational speed of the sight line reaches a triggering threshold. The mean thrust of each of the impellers which discharge successively and completely during a single revolution of the projectile is directed in the same direction located with respect to an absolute system of reference axes tied to the target. Detection of the target by an optoelectronic circuit enables the moment when this triggering threshold is reached to be determin
