A fin deployment mechanism for a projectile. The mechanism includes at least one fin and at least one actuator. The fin is arranged in a deployable and retractable manner on the projectile. The fin and at least one balance weight are arranged so that, when the fin is deployed, the weight is displaced towards a center of the projectile and, when the fin is retracted, the weight is displaced from the center of the projectile. A method for deploying and retracting fins on a projectile. At least one fin is arranged in a deployable and retractable manner on the projectile. The fin is fitted to at least one balance weight such that when the fin is displaced from the center of the projectile the weight is displaced towards the center, and when the fin is displaced towards the center of the projectile the weight is displaced from the center.
