A missile for airborne and seaborne use in which directional control about a flight axis comprises a nose (2) deflectable angularly in relation to the flight axis of the body (1) of the missile to form steering means by changing the fluid flow involve over the body (1) and means (4,5) between the nose (2) and the body (1) to effect angular deflection about a universal pivoting point (3) between the nose (2) and the body (1).

A missile for airborne and seaborne use having directional control comprising: a body formed about a flight axis to move axially forward along the flight axis through the air or water and being free to spin about said axis; a nose pivotally carried by said body to be directionally deflectable angularly in relation to said axis to form steering means for said missile by changing the fluid flow envelope over said body; means connected between said nose and said body operable to effect required angular deflection of said nose relative to said flight axis about at least two axes one normal to the other; means to sense the orientation of said body about said axis; means responsive to said sensing means to operate said operable means to maintain said nose at the required angular directional deflection irrespective of orientation changes of said body about said axis; said connecting means including a platform pivotally carrying said nose and said operable means and rotationally supported about said axis by said body; rotational drive means between said platform and said body; and means to control relative rotation between said body and said platform to maintain said nose non-rotational about said axis relative to said body.
