Flight control system is rate plus position multirate sampled-data control system; missile can be launched on moment's notice; control of Minuteman I is achieved by vectoring four nozzles on each of three stages; Minuteman II is controlled by vectoring four nozzles on each of stages one and three and by injecting liquid into exhaust stream of stage two; to control thrust vector throughout boost, control system uses digital computer angular accelerometer, three thrust vector control units, and three digital resolvers.
