Guided fuse with variable incidence panels

A guided fuse for installation on a projectile at its nose, said fuse comprising:

• a housing having a substantially conical frustum geometry with a radially expanding exterior disposed between a fore tip and an aft base along a longitudinal axis;
• a pair of control panels disposed on pivotable knuckles inserted in said housing, each control panel releasing on first release command from first stowage to first deployment, said first stowage disposing each said control panel to conform against said exterior, said first deployment extending each said control panel radially outward from said exterior, responsive to maneuver command said each control panel turning on said knuckles along a control axis substantially perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, said pair of control panels turning together in one of same angular direction and opposite angular direction;
• and
• a pair of drag panels disposed on hinges, each drag panel releasing on second release command from second stowage to second deployment, said second stowage disposing said each drag panel to conform against said exterior, said second deployment extending each drag panel radially outward from said exterior.
