Abstract

In this chapter a gyroscopic control in self-guidance systems of flying objects (FOs) is presented, and a gyroscopic control in an unmanned aerial vehicle is studied. First, the navigational kinematics of an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) is analyzed, and then the control of a gyroscope fixed on its board as well as its full control are discussed. Furthermore, a gyroscope in a guided aerial bomb is studied. It includes analysis of kinematics of a bomb self-guided motion to a ground target, equations of motion of a guided bomb, and a description of a gyroscopic system designed for bomb control including automatic pilot control.
