The aim of this paper is to give a survey of lateral jets as control system of tactical missiles. The paper is divided into four parts. The first part gives a brief analysis of new control requirements pertaining to tactical missiles, presents the advantages of lateral jet control, and describes two types of applications for missiles designed and developed by Aerospatiale-Missiles. The first example relates to the ground/surface-to-air missile ASTER which has antimissile capability; the second example concerns the antitank missile ERYX. The second part presents in detail the phenomenological aspects of lateral jets and the influence of various flow parameters and missile geometry on control system performance. The third part describes some wind-tunnel testing problems. The fourth and last part is dedicated to computation for valuation and understanding of the aerodynamic interactions.
