Lateral pulse jet control of a direct fire atmospheric rocket using an inertial measurement unit sensor system

Impact point dispersion of a direct fire rocket can be drastically reduced with a ring of appropriately sized lateral pulse jets coupled to a trajectory tracking flight control system. The system is shown to work well against uncertainty in the form of initial off-axis angular velocity perturbations...
