DC Motors for Missile Fin Actuation Systems
Missile systems require precision control to navigate and intercept targets while being exposed to extreme environments, including wide temperature ranges and heavy vibrations. Within the larger missile system is the missile fin actuation system, which oversees the movement and positioning of the missile fins (also known as control fins) in response to the steering commands from the flight computer. Miniaturized, lightweight technologies are essential to improving the maneuverability of these mission-critical systems, as when a missile is launched, these control fins position the trajectory of the missile towards the intended target.
