Abstract :
This analysis investigated the feasibility of employing control moment gyros for control of highly spinning tactical missiles. The missile dynamic equations were linearized through quasi-static analysis about the trim conditions and the gyro precession amplitude was assumed small so that a linear analysis was possible. The gyros were assumed "perfect" so that the induced roll torque was negligible. Within the limits of the assumptions, the concept appears highly feasible.
