Precession and Nutation Physics for Ballistic Projectiles
This module implements the complex angular motion of spinning projectiles:
- Precession: Slow coning motion of the projectile axis
- Nutation: Fast oscillatory motion superimposed on precession
- Angular momentum conservation
- Gyroscopic effects
