Introduction
Robert D Stratton is an accomplished inventor based in Tucson, AZ. He is known for his innovative contributions to the field of projectile control systems. His work has significantly impacted the design and functionality of various military and aerospace applications.
Latest Patents
Stratton holds a patent for a "Single actuator direct drive roll control" system. This invention provides a method for controlling roll in a projectile. The novel system includes first and second sections that are adapted to counter-rotate relative to each other. A mechanism is employed to induce this counter-rotation, generating roll torque on the projectile. In the preferred embodiment, the mechanism is a motor with a rotor affixed to the first section, while the second section acts as a stator that rotates around the rotor when current is applied to the armature. An alternative embodiment features a motor attached to the first section, driving a small gear that engages a full-diameter ring gear on the second section. In illustrative examples, the first and second sections represent a missile forebody and a tail section of the projectile.
