Abstract: For the technical scheme of the two-dimensional trajectory correction projectiles (TDTCPs) with drag brake and despining blade, the mathematical model of two dimensional trajectory corrections is discussed based on the theory of exterior ballistics. An approximate formula for predicting the ballistic drift and trajectory correction quantity is deduced with respect to the process of lateral trajectory correction. The capability of lateral trajectory correction and the flight stability of TDTCP are also analyzed. By comparing with the results of flight test, the accuracy and effectiveness of this approximate calculation method are verified. The result of the approximate method is in accordance with those of 6DOF trajectory model and firing test, and the maximum error is no more than 40 m. All the work is valuable for further research.
