A finless cone-nosed, ogival-nosed, or combination ogive-cone nosed
training projectile is statically stable, yet has adequate spin rate to
compensate for aerodynamic or mass asymmetries. In addition, the training
projectile can be fired from smooth bore or rifled cannons of various
calibers, including 120 mm and 105 mm. Spin torque and stability
augmentation are provided by a radially angled slotted tail flange
attached to the rear of the training projectile, providing high
performance and improved accuracy at low cost for use in training
exercises. The training projectile has a higher static margin than
conventional devices, and provides the ability to train personnel with a
training projectile that achieves flight ranges similar to its matching
tactical projectile, and has improved accuracy.
