Abstract:

The goal of this project was to further mature microspoiler technology to the extent that it could be incorporated into current and future smart weapons designs. Several program objectives, including mechanical design and fabrication, trade study analysis, and limited flight experiments were defined as a collaborative effort between the Georgia Institute of Technology Georgia Tech and the Army Research Laboratory ARL for DARPA.
