Systems and methods for maneuvering an underwater vehicle by generating vehicle maneuvering forces from a propulsor of the vehicle are provided. A post-swirl propulsor is configured such that pitch angles of downstream stator blades can be individually varied. The variation in pitch results in the generation of multiple forces and moments for vehicle control.
