Zusammenfassung:The present disclosure is directed to a missile having a main body and an articulating nosecone connected to the main body. An actuation system is operable for moving the nosecone relative to the main body via one or more electric motors and associated components. A central aperture is formed through electric motors and the associated components between the main body and the nosecone. One or more cables for transmitting electrical power, sensor data, control signals and the like extend through the central aperture between the main body and the nosecone to provide means for controlling the actuation system.
