Fluidic Gyro Torquer.
Abstract
The objective of this program is to develop fluidic torquer technology for missile guidance and control seeker type gyros. This report presents the technology in the development of a proportional/digital fluidic torquer and the associated electrofluid converter. The conceptual design feasibility and hardware performance characteristics are confirmed by the evaluation material. The cost-effectiveness of the torquer design is established by the use of off-the-shelf items and design simplicity. High-g survival and reliability requirements of the converter are verified by a 10,000-g cannon launch test environment. The study of the concept indicates that implementation of fluidic gyro torquing is feasible.
