Abstract
An opening in the nose of a missile allows entry of ram air during missile flight to a central chamber. Oppositely oriented steering jets are innerconnected with the aft end of the central chamber. A diverting mechanism is located between the central chamber and each of the steering jets to allow either one or none of the steering jets to provide correctional steering forces when desired. The rotatable diverting mechanism is pneumatically driven by ram air communicated to an actuation chamber located aft of the valve and controlled by electrically energized solenoids.
