Terminal guidance method and a guided missile operating according to this method
TLDR
In this article, a guidance method is provided for the terminal portion of the trajectory of a guided missile having a sensor and comprising two sections coupled together by a central shaft and free to rotate with respect to one another about the longitudinal axis of the missile; one section comprises a drive means for controlling the roll attitude of this section and a gas generator which feeds a nozzle for providing a transverse throat force.Abstract:

Systems and devices for remotely operated unmanned aerial vehicle report-suppressing launcher with portable RF transparent launch tube
TL;DR: An unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) launch tube (100) that comprises at least one inner layer of prepreg substrate (370) disposed about a right parallelepiped aperture (305) and one or more structural panels (341-344) disposed between the inner layer and the outer layer is defined by an inner wall as discussed by the authors.
Patent
Low-altitude retro-rocket load landing system with wind drift counteraction
TL;DR: In this paper, a low-altitude, retro-rocket, load landing apparatus for decelerating the rate of descent of a load and counteracting sideward wind drift is presented.
Patent
Aircraft hollow nose cone
TL;DR: In this article, an improved hypersonic aerodynamic configuration with a nose portion and a cavity formed at the bow of the nose portion is presented, where an optical window is provided at the base of the cavity such that during flight, temperatures at the optical window are reduced as a result of maintaining the cavity substantially within a subsonic region of the bowshock.
