Methods in use or proposed for the control of tactical missiles are identified, described, and compared. A brief and simplified discussion of missile response and flight dynamics is presented in order to illustrate the primary factors affecting control system performance. Aerodynamic (wing, tail, canard) controls are discussed as well as fluid interaction devices (thrust vector control, jet interaction, and others). Considering various performance factors, a rough comparison is made in an attempt to identify the most promising control methods for highly maneuverable missiles.
