A steering arrangement for missile type projectiles. A source of steering propulsion which is accommodated in the vicinity of the center of gravity of the missile comprises two gas generators which are positioned symmetrically on either side of the center of gravity a system being provided to switch or divert the gases to the exterior of the missile in at least two directions which are transverse to the projectile and to its axis. The arrangement according to the invention considerably improves the reliability and effectiveness with which the projectile is steered.
