Combined steering and drag -reduction device

摘要

The invention relates to a combined steering and drag -reduction device intended for a missile comprising a base (13) and an upper part which are arranged in succession along a main axis (11) along which the missile is steered. Advantageously ,the device comprises a pressurized- gas generator (35) and at least one lateral thruster (20) comprising: - at least one nozzle (38a , 38b), configured to deliver thrust , by expansion of the gas transmitted by the generator (35) , which nozzle can be orientated about an axis substantially perpendicular to the main axis (11) ,- at least one stabilizing chamber (39) , configured to expand the gas transmitted by the generator (35) and expel it through an exit section (43) of the base (13) substantially perpendicular to the main axis (11).
