Directed energy effects on the flight path of a spinning ballistic projectile

This thesis will examine the equations of motion for a spinning ballistic projectile. The goal of such an examination is to determine the possible mechanisms by which a directed energy weapon may induce sufficient instability as to significantly alter the projectile's flight path. A ballistic p...
