Thrust vector control(TVC) is the method which generates the side force and moment by controlling the exhausting gas directly from the supersonic nozzle to change the trajectory of a missile quickly. In this paper, performance study on the tapered ramp tabs asymmetrically installed in the supersonic nozzle exhaust for the thurst vector control has been carried out using the supersonic cold flow system. To study the shock wave structure and location of the oblique shock wave produced by the ramp tab, the flow field visualization using the schlieren system is conducted. This paper provides the thrust spoilage, three directional forces and moments and distribution of surface pressure on the region enclosed by the tapered ramp tabs.

The research trends and major technologies of the divert attitude control system(DACS), which is the core of the anti-missile system, are described. The operating concept and characteristics according to the fuel used are summarized. The characteristics of typical weapon system applying solid(SM3 Block IB/IIA) and liquid(THAAD) fuels were discussed. In the future, it will be necessary to study various types of DACS in the strategic concept of the defense weapon system.
