  • Patent number: 4645139
    Abstract: A procedure for steering a missile launched at low speed from a tube, with the missile being equipped with a propulsion unit system of the type with a propellant fuel charge. The procedure is characterized by the fact that the above-mentioned propulsion unit system is determined and arranged in such a way that it can simultaneously impart to the missile axial propulsive thrust and maneuver forces for steering by force and that the variation of the position of the center of gravity of the missile on its axis as a function of the burn-up of the propellant charge is such that, when the missile leaves the tube, the center of gravity passes through the line of action of the above-mentioned maneuver forces and that, during its flight, makes it possible for torques to develop which generate aerodynamic angles of attack and which produce maneuver forces which are added to those of steering by force.

  • Patent number: 4531693
    Abstract: A steering system for a missile provided with aerodynamic surfaces such as fins comprises a gas generator and lateral nozzles through which the gas generated by the gas generator emerges. The nozzles are arranged to lie between adjacent pairs of the aerodynamic surfaces, to project beyond the fuselage of the missile and to have an oblong cross-section, the largest dimension of which lies substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the missile. The gas flow through the nozzles is controlled by complete or partial closing of the nozzles. The shape and placement of the nozzles minimizes changes in the aerodynamic characteristics of the missile caused by interaction between the gas jets emerging from the nozzles and the flow of air over the aerodynamic surface of the missile.
