More Information
Summary:The presently disclosed subject matter includes a system and a method for launching a projectile towards a target, wherein the system comprises a control circuitry, a booster engine, and one or more thrusters adapted to be connected to the projectile and capable of being spun during launch around a longitudinal axis of the projectile, the control circuitry being operatively connected to the one or more thrusters; wherein responsive to ignition of propellant stowed in a combustion chamber of the booster engine, the booster engine causes the projectile to launch from its cell; following launch of the projectile, the control circuitry is configured to activate one or more thrusters that cause the projectile to turn at a certain rate and a certain azimuth.
