Abstract

A kinetic energy vehicle (or warhead) has a divert thruster system and an attitude control system, both operatively coupled to receive pressurized gasses from a solid rocket motor that is operatively coupled to both systems. The attitude control system may have two pairs of attitude control thrusters, with one of the pairs diametrically opposed from the other pair, on opposite sides of an end (such as a rear end) of the vehicle. The attitude control thrusters all have radial and circumferential components to their thrust, and various combinations of the attitude control thrusters may be used to achieve desired roll, pitch, and/or yaw.
