Abstract
A spinning projectile is described including a body having a fore section and an aft section and a seeker, connected to the fore section, for providing guidance signals. The spinning projectile further includes a rocket control system, connected to the aft section, for controlling the course of the spinning projectile and means for acoustically coupling through the body of the projectile the guidance signals from the seeker to the rocket control system. With such an arrangement, existing projectiles can be retrofitted with a seeker and a rocket control system without affecting the body of the projectile.
