ABSTRACT:
A spin-stabilized projectile for destroying distant targets uses the projectile's spin to carry out other functions such as target imaging, course-correction and warhead aiming. By using the spin to carry out such functions, in addition to stabilization, the projectile can be implemented with fewer or no moving parts. The projectile may utilize either right or skewed-core fusing for the warhead.
