Low Cost Servo Actuator for Tactical Missile Thrust Vector Control (TVC)

Abstract

This report discusses the design, analysis, and performance evaluation of a helium driven closed center servo actuator system. The actuator was sized to operate a trapped ball type of movable nozzle thrust vector control system for tactical missiles. Predicted and actual performance are compared and typical test data are presented.
