Abstract:
The disclosed system, device and method for guiding a hypersonic kinetic penetrator projectile (300) generally includes a kinetic penetrator body (110, 230) and a slip-over electronic guidance unit (120, 220), where the kinetic penetrator body slidably mounts through the slip-over electronic guidance unit. Disclosed features and specifications may be variously controlled, adapted or otherwise optionally modified to improve accuracy and control of a hypersonic projectile. Exemplary embodiments of the present invention generally provide multi-use slip-over electronic guidance units for hypersonic kinetic penetrator projectiles in 105 mm and 120 mm munition rounds, surface-to-surface missiles, and air-to-surface missiles.
