Stabilized ballistic projectiles of the explosive type (e.g. artillery and mortar shells, bombs) are described including a plurality of stabilizing fins symmetrically arranged around the nose of the projectile well forward of its center of mass and pivotable on axes at right angles to the projectile axis, the leading edge of each fin, and the pivot axis of each fin, being located with respect to the foremost point of the projectile, inclusive of its stabilizing fins, a distance which is substantially less than the length of the fin.

A ballistic projectile characterized in that it includes at least three stabilizing fins symmetrically arranged around the nose of the projectile well forward of its center of mass, each of said fins being independently pivotable on an axis extending radially of the projectile and intersecting the projectile axis at a right angle thereto so as to be pivotable to one side or the other side of the projectile axis for stabilizing the projectile, the leading edge of each fin, and the pivot axis of each fin, being located with respect to the foremost point of the projectile, inclusive of its said fins, a distance which is substantially less than the length of the fin.
