Abstract:
The present invention is an obturator for a guided projectile. The obturator allows for decoupling the projectile from the rotation of the rifled barrel by use of a static band, a front slip band, a rear slip band and a slip disk. The slip disk is disposed between the front and rear slip bands and allows the rear slip band to rotate independently from the front slip band.
