A method for adjusting the flight path of an unguided projectile, which
comprises the steps of: (a) Measuring the magnitude and direction of the
jittering of a projectile launch tube, at an ejection time of a
projectile from the launch tube; (b) Measuring a velocity deviation of
the projectile from a nominal velocity; (c) Measuring an angular
deviation of the sight of the launch tube, being equal to the angular
deviation between a line coinciding with the direction of gravity and a
line passing through the center of the launch tube and the center of the
sight; (d) Determining a compensating impulse vector to be applied to the
projectile during an initial flight path thereof based on the magnitude
and direction of the jittering, velocity deviation and angular deviation;
and (e) Applying the compensating impulse vector to the projectile by
activating a flight correction unit, the thrust developed by the flight
correction unit suitable for adjusting the flight path of the projectile
by a magnitude and direction substantially equal to that of the
compensating impulse vector.
