Abstract
A steerable projectile comprises a pressure chamber to hold gas in a pressurized state; and a body section coupled to the pressure chamber, the body section having a flight system to use the pressurized gas for adjusting a trajectory of the projectile. The pressure chamber comprises an orifice in a wall of the pressure chamber; and a check valve corresponding to the orifice, the check valve configured to allow gas that results from ignition of a propellant to enter the pressure chamber via the corresponding orifice and to prevent the gas, once inside the pressure chamber, from exiting the pressure chamber via the corresponding orifice.
