A system for a control device which will improve the directional control performances of hovercrafts, making them almost as maneuverable as automobiles, was designed. The system is presented in terms of conceptual, preliminary and detailed design. Easier handling, closer turns and shorter braking by the control system were addressed to increase potential missions of the craft such as use over roads or small rivers. Low maintenance requirements and non-interference with soil surface were taken into account. Inspection and testing procedures, operational deployment and distribution, maintenance and costs are reported. Graphics of the system are included.
