This paper presents an innovative active flow control strategy to enhance missile launch capability and increase maneuverability of missiles at high Angle of Attack ALPHA thereby allowing rear hemisphere engagement maneuvers. This flow control technique utilizes Deployable Flow Effectors DFE's, which can be actuated using miniature pneumatic valves or micropumps that are fabricated using MicroElectroMechanical Systems MEMS technology. Low power pressure sensors are integrated with the DFE's in a common ...
