The dragbrake range control system is for surfaceto-surface missiles. The system includes a single mechanism having four paddle-like brake members which open and close for a coarse and fine braking period. During the coarse brake period the brakes are opened in response to a pre-set timing mechanism and are closed by a signal from a coarse brake closing computer. During the fine brake period the brakes are opened by a signal from a fine brake opening computer and closed by a signal from a fine brake closing computer.
