Abstract
A device is configured for deflecting a stream of particles for a projectile guided by a link wire, the projectile having a fuselage and an engine capable of producing a propulsive jet containing the stream of particles. The device includes a device support including an inner surface configured to attach the device support to the fuselage of the projectile, and a deflector strip assuming at least an unfolded position in which the deflector strip forms an angle with the device support in order to deflect the stream of particles.
Claims12
A device for deflecting a stream of particles for a projectile guided by a link wire along a movement direction (F), the projectile having a fuselage and an engine capable of producing a propulsive jet ejected through an ejection outlet of the projectile from upstream to downstream in the movement direction (F), the propulsive jet containing the stream of particles, the device comprising:
- a device support comprising an outer surface and an inner surface, the inner surface being configured to attach to the fuselage of the projectile;
- a deflector strip attached to the device support and configured to be positioned downstream of the ejection outlet of the projectile;
- and
- an actuation module configured to bring the deflector strip from a folded position in which the deflector strip is situated substantially in line with the device support to an unfolded position in which the deflector strip forms an angle with the device support to deflect the stream of particles away from the fuselage of the projectile.
