New Non-Inductive Piezo Actuation System Now Available

 

DSM recently completed an Office of Naval Research (ONR) SBIR project demonstrating an inexpensive, non-inductive actuation mechanism that can be used in a canard actuation system (CAS) without adding noise or bias to the measurements of onboard magnetometers during guidance and fuzing operations of miniaturized precision munitions.
