In air to air engagements with mobile threat helicopters, the possession of a round of ammunition which could depart from a normal flight trajectory to engage a maneuvering enemy target would be of great value. Maneuvering projectiles launched from an automatic cannon would have the added benefit of putting a number of rounds on target in a short time. The FC&SCWSL has initiated the development of such a projectile. In the sections that follow results of analytical investigation of the explosive thruster concept, which is only one of several maneuvering techniques, are described. (Author)
