ABSTRACT:
The tail section of a fin-stabilized, guided projectile having centrifuga deployed fins is disclosed. A fin retainer and release mechanism engages the projectile fins and holds the fins within the projectile diameter during normal stowage, handling and travel of the projectile down the gun tube. The fin retainer and release mechanism is designed to operate from the forces of gun launch to enable centrifugal deployment of the fins due to projectile rotation after the projectile leaves the gun tube.
