The focus of this paper is to provide the technical background, summary and implementation of a Joint GTRI, ARL and DARPA effort to explore the feasibility of producing steering forces on a spinning projectile using micro-adaptive flow control (MAFC). The paper discusses the theoretical foundation for the non-linear flow control mechanism, the multidisciplinary modeling technology developed, the flight control technology required to enable the MAFC on spinning projectiles, the design ...
