PCT No. PCT/US83/00086 Sec. 371 Date Jan. 20, 1983 Sec. 102(e) Date Jan. 20, 1983 PCT Filed Jan. 20, 1983 PCT Pub. No. WO84/02975 PCT Pub. Date Aug. 2, 1984.An open-ended diffusion chamber and an adjacent combustion chamber located in the nose of a projectile to receive ram air that ignites a solid fuel material within the combustion chamber. A pair of oppositely disposed lateral steering ports are provided aft of the combustion chamber and are interconnected therewith via a diverting valve that is controllable to selectively divert the escaping combustion gases from the combustion chamber to one or both of the steering ports to thereby change or maintain the trajectory course of the projectile after firing.
